Man in the Moon

Sorrowful eyes cast up to the moon
Sorrowful boy in blue

A winter sky
streams of light
swirling clouds
starlit night
Sorrowful boy in blue

Searching for answers
a moment beneath the moon

Secrets dark
haunting and hidden
pain burns in his soul
Reminders, pieces, parts of his past
scattered in the velvet night

Sorrowful eyes
cast up to the moon
Sorrowful boy in blue

The mourning
that evening
the depth of his being
the torture of becoming
a shape in the chrysalis
of grief's tight grip
the gentleness of its embrace

Rest easy
Rest easy
the moon shines its light
on heart's hibernation
sorrow surrounds you now
Sleep
Sleep
and wait for the dawn
in your winter's moonlit sky

Sorrowful eyes cast up to the moon
Sorrowful boy in blue.
