Trapped on the Moon

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.
