Lunar Tunes

Lunar Tunes

Full moon in the sky

Mist ~ by the cloud,

& The moon does sigh.

A break in chorus –

Sad songs come alive,

After cycling around

Both water and ground.

No ups – Only downs,

Of a melancholy mood.

Never answering why

It’s not a sob or a cry

Just sigh upon sigh.

Mere mortals are moved,

By the sight of the moon.

For the sigh of the moon

Plays back a sad tune.

Music’s memories mingle –

Guilt loudest on drums,

My sin it repeats – 

An overpowering beat.

Do not let it drown

The subtler sounds ~

Notes – harmony sweet

These finer melodies –

Are delicately strummed

One soul’s sad longing –

My emotions belonging ~

To the sigh of the moon,

For she knows a sad tune.
