The moon stares down with sleepy eyes
And I see the world in a new light
A light that gives old people new faces
Makes stoicism look like euphoria

Oh, weary moon, tell me now
What you mean by this change
Why am I to look into these eyes
In a frightening new way?

The moon voices no reply, and with a yawn
Retires to the sky of dreamy days.
