The Moon Took Mars
illusion's for us here earth bound
The Moon Took Mars
The moon took Mars, I watched it go
no sound, no light, just hush and glow
a slip behind that silver face
no rush, no fight, no need for grace
The sky held still, the stars stood back
a quiet theft on midnight’s track
Mars didn’t flare, it didn’t cry
just gave itself to passersby
What makes a god go out like that
not burned, not torn, not even flat
just gone behind a softer wall
no blaze, no war, no pride to fall
Some nights the dark has more to say
than words that fall or drift away
and when the moon decides to steal
you learn how small the strong can feel
Thank good it was illusion
it just looked like that from here
no planet or moon got damage
just a show to make us stare
