The Moon and I..

The Moon says tonight:

listen and look

how I whisper and I blur,,

how I blink and I hide,,

how I tease you with my glimmers..

It says to me: Live!

I've lived long to wonder the Cesar,,

the Nile servants,

and those of the forest who fought!

and they have always wanted a fist..

rose and rose from my shimmering sands

serving white to the suffering nations

never stopped blood from shedding in trenches

nor stopped the sinister roaring senses..

when you look, 
do not blame me for losing the old grim wares

and how I left my half to the ancient months!

do I face you?

nay! that's the crowd of the clouds 
surrounding me with veils of fear!

if you look,

I'll always tell you

It is for you that I offer the scene
And no one else
