Someone stole the moon last night <br />Left the land bereft of light <br />Sorrow filled the sequinned sky <br />And all the stars began to cry <br /> <br />There above as glist'ning tears <br />(Weeping, weeping, no-one hears) <br />Flutt'ring down upon the world <br />Like soft confetti deftly hurled <br /> <br />Oh to see her face again <br />Then to watch her wax and wane <br />Lost to sight her Imbrian sea <br />So sweetly named Tranquility <br /> <br />Gone the night-time's wondrous glow <br />Tides no longer ebb and flow <br />Months shall cease and days decline <br />As now the moon no more will shine <br /> <br />Where is she, Oh where is she <br />She whose light shone down on me <br />Please return her to her place <br />Suspended in the frame of space <br /> <br />Set above and counting time <br />O'er the mountain tops to climb <br />Minute-hand upon the clock <br /> <br />- Tick tock, tick tock - tick tock, tick tock -<br /><br />Valerie Dohren<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/someone-stole-the-moon/
