The moon <br />can’t sleep tonight. <br /> <br />She frets <br />gets entangled in a tree <br /> <br />and can’t...break loose. <br /> <br />I hear her <br />crying to herself...weeping in the sky <br /> <br />caught up in the storm <br />of my being <br /> <br />without you. <br /> <br />The moon thrown against <br />a mountain <br /> <br />can’t break <br />but must endure <br /> <br />all night long...this long night <br /> <br />searching for a past <br />it haunts <br /> <br />whispering to her self: <br /> <br />“On a night like this <br />Love was lost! ” <br /> <br />I hear her <br />crying to herself <br /> <br />lost in a dream <br />she can’t awaken from <br /> <br />The moon can’t sleep...the moon can’t sleep.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-moon-can-t-sleep-tonight/
