THE MOON AT NOON
Have you seen
The moon at noon,
As a pale reflection,
A mere cartoon?
Does it make,
You wonder why,
While stealthy gazing,
at the sky?
Why the moon,
Does seem follow,
The yellow sun,
Like a silver shadow?
With a secret smile,
Upon its face,
Does it mean
To take its place?
Could you contend
With a silver moon,
When the dawn breaks
At daylight?
Could you see,
The stars so bright,
Through a yellow sun,
At midnight?
Alas, whom among us,
Would then wish to croon,
Amidst so much confusion,
A tune to the moon?
So, when you gaze
Upon the moon at noon,
Say a silent pray,
Not to make it soon!
