Oh Moon

Oh moon
The night sky is upon me
The moon bright and full
It's beauty amazing
It overwhelms me still
The rest of the sky barren
By beauty too bright
Not a cloud in the sky
Or a star in sight

Oh moon
You are overpowering
The center of attention
I miss those around you
Those speckles of light
The starts that fill the sky
They are missing tonight
It feels empty without them
A kingdom with just a queen
No loyal subjects
Or court jesters to be seen

Oh moon
Your beauty is known
Many on this earth can see
But please show less brightly
So the others can be seen
That is what this lover
Would find ever so keen
Do not fail to glimmer
To glow and to gleam
For the memory of you
Should not be just a dream
