No Moon Tonight Sadness reigned upon that hill And down below for all to see The longing glances of a girl Who wished for all there is to be. One day she wished to fall in love And handsome, yes, her wish came true Like fairytales and apple pies The sweetest taste had come her due. Was not too long, the two were one And on and on her dreams were met It must have been long overdue 'Cause now surprized, she has regret. Regret that for the years that passed She went no where and did no thing The country, oh so beautiful, Laid before her, all it sings. She sees this now, she knows it's truth She wishes to retain that youth Escapes her now, how this had come An empty place, with love from none So cried, she did and tried some more To see what could her life, restore And when last summer's heat appeared A gentle whisper breezed her ear Oh wow, she thought, in sun drenched warmth I love this moment, the sun, the moon I think I feel a flight on wings A butterfly, from moth's cocoon. And so she felt with eyes, so wide Enjoyed surroundings, gardens all The tads in pond becoming frogs The fishes, flowers, nature's call. And then one day, a brothers wish A screen of blue and cards by air Had brought her in and closed the door Now all that's seen is what's on there. She found a way to pass her days To leave out all the hurt, and pain The saddest thing is that for now She has become cocooned, again. It may not be in wrappings tight In fact, they are quite loose this time But every chance she gets to break Away is fartherest, from her mind. It's comfort she is seeking out As words she reads, dance all about Release of pain through other's words Though not a whisper is ever heard Tears of joy at times appear And smiles, she shows from ear to ear And other times, it's tears of pain And hurt, at thoughts that rise again She'll leave this time, I know she'll try It's like that story of the train I think I can, I think I can Say it louder, with each refrain. Yet, there she is, I see her still From eyes in view, of fingers touch A letter here, a letter there Until a word is formed from such. And then from words and phrases still She tries her hand at poetry Sometimes it hurts, sometimes relieves But always after, she feels free. If freedom is what life's about And what she feels and wants to see Free to love and share her heart Then in her freedom she will Be. May never travel the road she wants May never see the beauty's delight She'll dream her trips and write her views And hide in dark, no moon tonight. Maureen 6.05.99....a year ago's feelings resurfacing today [This message has been edited by MMoonchild (edited 08-24-2000).] |
