It Surely Seems

someone’s cut the moon in half
come outside and see
it’s looking rather odd you know
hangin’ over me

it’s not a crescent that’s for sure
it’s turned the other way
and the darkened side, it seems no more
like it’s gone somewhere to play

or maybe it has fallen,
gone to another realm
where dwarves and wise men congregate
and gnomes are at the helm

where’er it’s gone, it is no more
within our eb’ny sky
it has escaped, that seems for sure
I would not tell a lie!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Virginia,

Concise imagery here--giving the moon a personality in a way--with all of the possible explanations... very fanciful, and original.


Thank you for sharing this,

--Matt

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
