The story of the Moon and Stars

by Mia Wells


Like a jewel upon the sky hangs the moon
In seemingly lonely rapture
Whose subtle blues and hidden gloom
The night could never capture
For who could foretell the tragic tale
That would befall our skies above
Our minds are strong, but our hearts are frail
And there is none more tragic than a tale of love
See my friend, the stars they shine
But never did they move
Never losing their heaven’s light
Not as waning as their loving moon
         Each night the moon stands in the sky, high above the shrouded trees
         And stars they stand, in tragic silence, for never the twain shall meet
