Moon – Page 6 – Hearts Still Care

Revelation

The wonder doesn’t last,
The smiles fade away,
The hope from the past
Burns up today.

You held him too close,
There is no chance now,
To vainly suppose
He will keep his vow.

The shades burst too soon,
The night comes to wail,
Darkness takes the moon,
Silence takes the tale.

Sometimes the stars refuse to shine

And sometimes you see

There is no hope in the divine.

Sometimes the night is just a night,

With a pale sunset,

But no resurrecting light.

Sometimes life seems morbidly dark,

The moon robs each dream,

Every inspiring spark.

Sometimes all love does is pine

And though we try hard

We find no mercy in time.

Sometimes sadness bursts anew

And feelings tangle,

And faithless strength holds me to you.

Sometimes my words find no rhymes

So I hold despair and you close

And I go on writing – sometimes.

Have I become old?
Am I to meet regret?
Have my dreams all been sold?
Is this all I get?

Where has all my faith gone?
Am I finally alone?
After all the pain I’ve borne
I can’t even know you’ll atone?

Is this all I learn
With nothing else left to know?
I cannot even yearn,
Before I must willfully let go?

Life can seek the young –
A new phase of the same moon;
But this song has been sung,
They will all be old soon.

I still can write,
Although in the dark;
Maybe, one last fight
To make some sort of mark.
