Departing Me

Behind the lazy clouds lie a shining moon,
So bright is its glow that no peasant shall be starved of light,
So momentous is its shape that no stranger will be lost,
Moon oh moon,
Send your stars to earth,
For where your light does not touch,
Where your presence cannot be felt,
Lies darkness where souls collide,

Such as the savior of night,
Let your stars be the savior of hearts,
So deep and so dampened the faiths,
Like a painter lost of vision,
A singer lost of depth,
Stuck where the world sees red and blue,

Angels leave in flurry dust,
Their feathers float the air like silent deaths,
As quiet comes in hopes of better time,
Hearts cry at every breath,
Hopes and dreams exhaled,
Only left are we, us and ourselves,

Soon you shall leave,
So shall the bright you bring,
For when the time is right,
The place you hold you shall give,
A different light will come,
One with glaring sun but not as bright,
Gone is not only light,
With light are our desires to take flight

Each of us a moon ourselves,
Vanish will be my days,
In memory and in memory will it remain,
What is left will be replaced,
And so in time all shall heal,
And so there will be no more we, no more we,
What is once we,
Will be a forgotten part of me.
