Day slowly fades from her sight
As she succumbs to the night
Moonlight covers her like a cloak
A breathless sight it does invoke
Her skin that glows so soft and sweet
As though this world holds no deceit
And the ground she walks upon
Is not the same come the dawn
For in the light the magic fades
With its piercing light that invades
So give her the moon and the night
And let her shine once more so bright
I lie here in the moon’s gentle light
Quietly savoring the delight
Of its presence up in the sky
As wisps of clouds just pass it by
Wait so patient for its return
That sweet soft light for which I yearn
It gives a glow to the world around
A magical touch upon the ground
The dew reflecting oh so bright
I lose myself within its sight
Oh how she aches to be free
From all of life’s tragedy
To grow wings and fly away
Into skies not touched by gray
Where she could soar way up high
Touch the sun that lights the sky
Visit the moon and the stars
Have them erase all her scars
Feeling freedom on her face
As she finally takes her place
Among the clouds, soft and white
Where she can dance with delight
But she wakes and finds again
This life that she’s trapped within
Seasons come and seasons go
With a perpetual flow
Like the oceans rise and fall
Heeding to the lunar call
And the sun will rise and set
On a path that’s just offset
My dreams the same, I watch them fade
Although their price I thought I paid
With my blood and with my tears
And all I’ve lost through the years
But it seems Fate still wants more
To give me what I ask for
An eternal darkness seems to cover the land
But a moon begins to shine a light that’s so grand
Its beauty takes the breath from me
And the stars shine for all to see
The moon shines through the darkness, light up the sky
Breaking through the blackness, stars reflecting in my eye
But dawn quickly comes and leaves me alone
Longing for the night and the light it shone

This is another poem that I wrote in middle school and was actually the second that I had gotten published.
