Moonlight on her hair

She-
on top of the world
on top of the trees
brushing aside the leaves
dancing through the stars
drifting on the wind.

She-
basks in sunlight
laughs at darkness
he came and she found
herself suddenly heavy
pulled down.

Suddenly, all- different.

She-
underneath the leaves
moonlight disappeared
stars no longer know her by name
darkness taunts her
She, frightened.

For, somehow, suddenly,

She

is

all

ALONE.

Just a piece I wrote one day. It's hard to explain what this poem is really about, because it can mean what ever you what it to mean.
