Not Seen as We Seem
The sunset fast approaches
Sweat beads my brow
though it is a balmy summer's eve
Darkness approaching
but what is worse than moonlight?
Moonlit monsters
It is only but a fortnight
We have spent on this planet
But oh, how they threaten
Morning rises quickly
shines and burns
Too close to the flame
Midday search for food
almost always
a failure
When the breeze blows
we are calm, but
with uncertainty
For when night draws
near the Earth cracks
little fractures in dust
What emerges? We must
shut our eyes
for fear that we shall see
That they shall see
We are but visitors
unwelcome and afraid
How they hunt us
"There! Get them!"
Panting, running, climbing
We scurry from their stars
Only daylight protects
from these monsters
of the moon
White glow across their
snarling teeth
We tried to plead
They simply do not see
For in the moonlight
we are not as we seem
The water has shown
In its reflection
we are not as we
have always know
How can this be?
