Once Upon A Tale

 

Once upon a song, sung the moon a lovely tale. 

That very night, birthed an awful fate, 

While the earth smiled a sad while. 

Long lived the song, longer lived the night. 

At dawn She crooned, a soft lullaby. 

That very day, sinister cries she spat, 

While leaves rustled and swayed by. 

Long lived the song, longer lived the night. 

At noon She hummed, shone the sun a bright pile. 

That very hour, time broke out a pretty fight, 

While the wind breathed in guile. 

Long lived the song, longer lived the night. 

At dusk She lulled, hushed goodbye. 

That very second, alarmed she followed flight, 

While the river in reverse flowed by. 

Long lived the song, longer lived the night. 

Once upon a song, sung the moon another tale. 

That very night, birthed another ill-fate, 

While She laughed a sad while. 

Long lived the song, no longer lived the night.
