Mr Miss Moon
The moon said it couldn’t write anymore
So humanity lifted it’s palms to say
These lines etched on my very hands
Are skin illuminated in your light
And basked in the shine you place
On others before you
Mr Miss Moon
Don’t leave too soon
Because the sea will monsoon
The sun will consume
Itself before despair sets in
On the lonley sailors swoon
Mr Miss Moon
Don’t stop rising at night
Because who can bear to raise a fist
Without your faint reminder of a fight
