The Man of the Moon

Syncronizing of symphonies
The bellowing of the moon
Crying out to the galaxies
A sentencing of solitude
An eternity of inprisonment
There was a time long ago
When the moon was of bone
Made of spirit and of flesh
And hopes and happiness
He was an affable gentleman
With a kind heart and smile
On journey of redemption
What hell has he dwelled in?
What stories does he know?
Why did he bare a black hole?
Shallow crimson, a fitted suit

So each day he traveled out
To far beyond and all around
Mending hearts to hear the sound
The beating of lost souls
On crossroads, he met a cliche
A deal with devil
And all he portays
To simply soften all hearts, with nothing
But a dim glow and a glance
And a budding romance
Until the milky way fades
An agreement gone no better
Two heads agreed together
Sealed the deal to bind the man
Forever more into the night sky
And when began to bellow
Chosen fate turned him to stone

Soft hearts bruised with sorrow
Or the longing of their lovers
Look towards the nighttime sky
Finding sonething without intent
Feeling comfort without desire
The man of the moon tried to rectify
The mistakes of man lacking empathy
Yet we look to our gods forgiveness
Because our sins have been washed
Scrubbed away with bloody hands
That we will never witness ourselves
But millionf eyes this second
Meet eyes with those moon craters
As he hangs delicatly to link souls
Because who hasnt thought about
Someone else who might be looking too

I enjoyed the flow of words and thoughts.
On crossroads, he met a cliche
"A deal with devil
And all he portays
To simply soften all hearts, with nothing
But a dim glow and a glance
And a budding romance
Until the milky way fades "
The above lines stood out. Making a deal with the devil. Devil never lose. Thank you Sarah Jane for sharing the excellent poetry.
