(A poem by Sal Godoij.)
Full moon, bright moon,
What are you doing up there
In the blue sky at noon?
Have you lost your mind?
You who are truly one of a kind
Have you broken up with the night
Because you have fallen for the light?
Ah! Love is such a mischievous sprite,
But that mischievous sprite turns you into a fool.
Don’t be a fool; be a jewel
Which you are; a jewel on the throne of the night.
Oh, dear moon, I love to see you in daytime
But it’s at night where you shine; at night
Transparent
The light makes you transparent; the light.
Powerful
The night makes you powerful; the night.
I want to see you in full; full and bright
Full and bright in the sky tonight.
Don’t stay up in the sky, at any time of day
At any time of the day, I say
Certainly not at midday.
Return to the stars
They are missing you, the stars
Don’t carve scars
In the heart of the night.
Come back,
Please come back bright to the sky, tonight!
