"Why, it seems as if the hills have swallowed the moon!

...THE MOON...

MY MOON!!

My heart turns first with my head just behind,

both are startled and awestruck by a glorious sight,

a gleaming pearl in the palm of the night sky,

The moon is visible from my bedroom window tonight!

What wonder!

What joy!

It's time to celebrate,

let the festival commence!

Yellow moon music,

yellow moon dance.

Oh my soul rejoice!

Rather than blood, inspiration now pumps through my veins.

One glance seems enough to last an eternity.

It all seems too blissfully good to be true!

Elope to the heavens,

is that what I shall do?

Is this the moon, or a silver summer sun??

...But just like that... the glory was done.

So, a song half sung,

I let rest on my tongue,

while I raced outside as fast as my feet would run.

This can't be true...

It was there only a minute ago.

Do my eyes deceive me?

How does a moon vanish?

.... How does THE moon vanish?

... How does MY moon ... my yellow-pearl-summer-sun-moon .... vanish?

A ransom I have not, but a clue I found:

The hills have a glowing halo atop their crown.

It's as if against the crisp, black, starry sky they cast a cheeky grin.

WHY, YOU DIRTY MONSTERS!

HAVE YOU NO HEART?!

YOU'VE SWALLOWED MY MOON!

--

Yes, it does seem that the hills have swallowed the moon."

I decided to share my journal entry from tonight just for fun. All of that really took place tonight. Haha. If it is hard to follow, what happened is this: I was in my room listening to music and jotting a few things down and all of a sudden I turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see the moon hanging really low in the sky. It was sooo bright (not to mention HUGE and unusually yellow). I got really excited because I can't ever remember being able to see the moon from my bedroom window! "What a treat!" I thought. I was excited to go to sleep looking at it. I got distracted for a few minutes and when I turned back around to look at it again, it was completely gone! I went outside and it was no where to be found in the sky! I was like...what the heck?? Does the earth really rotate that fast? How does the moon just disappear? My only guess as to where it went was behind the hills in the distance because there was a faint glow above them. The sky was pitch black everywhere else. After that I just had the imagery in my mind of the hills swallowing the moon (rude). I came inside all inspired and wrote that. Haha. Silly, dreamy and fun. Thats that!

p.s. the moon was that shape too..all cut-off..y
