Half Full Moon Poem by Sarah Pesta

My eyes open at the stroke of midnight
I see the stars scattered all over
Into a deep purple velvet sky

Far within my distance a light is glowing
The moon is shining in the sky
But showing only half of its light

Why won't the moon show its full light
I've seen it this way before
Only when it is very sad

This time was different to me
Clouds started to spread throughout the sky
I realized that it wasn't an ordinary half full moon
