A Face in the Moon/Pale Sunlight

A Face in the Moon

She carved a face,
in the moon, tonight.
it twinkled and smiled, only for her
she danced and sang,
to the little man
the man in the face of the moon
he seemed so delighted
she is such a fragile soul
the man smiled on...
she pirouetted and bowed
before her audience of stars.
Mindful of the man on the moon..
she carved a face,
in the moon tonight her
the one she wanted to see
the man who would sing and dance, with her..
and not leave her feeling lonely..

Pale Sunlight

full moon, bright and beautiful
full moon, dark and haunting
thin tapered clouds
pass an image before it..
leave a trace behind,
a memory in the distance
moon, dip behind the midst
drip to the lonely world
a sea of tears, washing down
trickle on before her
darkness weaving patterns
against the night
a flicker of pale sunlight
illuminates her face
she turns upward,
reflections dance across her eyes
deep in the moment
high, thin clouds etch pictures
that trickle on before her..
