The Virgin Moon
The moon of summer now hides her face
As darker clouds pass and take her place
Crying without slumber, for all she knows
The spring with sparkler has no joy once it was.
Craters may mar her surface so bright
My love by far, bound with the light
You shine so bright, pure as white
No more scars, everything is now all right
Forget all the memories so bad, let them fall
Only the light I ask, try it, poor soul
To embrace the present and let go of it all
Still, you are, a virgin and whole.
