//------------------------------// // Trapped on the Moon // Story: Poetry selections // by kaitou42 //------------------------------// Just a short bit with Luna. On desolate moon is our prison of ages The passage of time leaves no marks in the dust We stay locked inside but our spirit still rages Yet we shall have vengeance for this treatment unjust And what was my sin, for which sister most kind Has left us here trapped in our namesakes' cage? To stare from the cold at all we left behind As we stay unchanged and look on from offstage? Just sharing my gift of the beautiful night Of stars as the jewels and flowing patterns Of mysteries, secrets, a poets delight My moon softly shining with glow of lanterns... And this they all shun, ignoring the beauty In ignorance, fear, my work was left bare For centuries on we stayed true to the duty But as years passed so too grew our despair In anger we struck, not for pride, but in pain For what we deserve what is our just right In this, as in all, sisters Sun was our bane With Elements donned, she has stolen our night This cage is well built, but our light is eternal, We'll weather it through, and escape this abyss... Our strength has not waned, we'll defeat Sun infernal! And to see her once more... How my sister I miss.
