Someone took the moon last night

Someone took the moon last night
I listened, I stared
All the light had been stolen from the sky
And all the lands were bare

Go into our fields and reap your weary grain
We cannot fight you

The buds grew into madness with promises of glory
The solitude of elegance
Spring leaves in the summer sun
More dusty every day
And every day more barren
You needn't tell me your lies

Someone took the moon last night
And hid the sun in shrouds by day
As if to blur the definitions

Pale Gray the sky, with bits of blue and amber
The field rose to meet it, pale in green atonal somber
A season's thunder held in grasses, clothed in gray

Someone took the moon last night
I missed it, I missed you
How it danced upon your features, ballet in black and white
The wind and night were steps in some routine
Dancers rehearsing scenes
The song gone missing

Withering notes of long dead hopes
Beat ceaselessly upon the shore of reason
The soul of my own free sung line
Embattled, becomes a cry

Someone took the moon last night
I wonder, I care
I cast my feelings to the dried white recollection
My grasp upon the past paled to transparency
Someone took the moon
