The Eclipse

The Eclipse

I saw a shooting star
on the longest night of the year
And the moon disappeared
That hasn’t happened in almost 400 years

What would they have thought back then
Woman alone staring at the cold moon
Moon child
Wishing on a shooting star
Witch child, star child
She always was a little strange
A little different
A little off

Would they run me out of town
Burn me at the stake
Would I be blamed for bad weather
Ships sinking, unwelcome news

For wishing on a falling star
On the longest night of the year
The coldest night
When the moon disappeared?
