the moon is calling - a poem

the moon is calling...

Down the earth sat a girl aged 2 or 3

staring at a bright round thing in the sky

her eyes twinkled and she beamed

she knew the mon was calling

she stretched her hands to get closer

one inch...two inch... nothing seemed better!

the moon was alone in the dark room of light

her eyes were swimming in salty tears

the lonely moon with no friends was calling...

and she got near

no better

no stars only clouds of evil

how could the moon stay alone??

she jumped and jumped

tears streaming fast

the moon stayed but called

her bed came to notice

she was tired to meet the moon

she fell so drowsy and heartbroken.

she slept and unhappy dream about a moon with a teardrop

until the day dawned...

a jolly sun beamed at her

tears brimmed her eyes

realizing...

that the moon had died!

again in the night

to her surprise

she saw the moon

this time he was not lonely

but with stars beside him having fun!

inside- she knew the moon still called...

she is happy that atleast, he's not dead after all! :D

a poeam about an innocent li'l girl who thinks the moon needs friends to play with on a cloudy night. the nest morning when the moon had disappeared. she mistakened it to have died. but it returned in the night with stars. relieved that the moon had found some friends the gil stopped her tears from flowing ... but inside she longs to go to the moon.
