In Despair

The moon lost his glow
In the forest
Without his twinkling stars
The sky is empty and dull
Don’t you feel lonely now?

In the forest is
Now dimly lit
Without any lives to make a sound
The trees are quiet and still
Don’t you feel sad now?

Now dimly lit
Stands an owl
Without making his usual hoot
The night is pale and gloom
Don’t you feel somber now?

Stands an owl
In despair
Without his lover to lament to
The lake is cold and gray
Don’t you feel dreary now?

In despair
The owl hoot
By the lake
Every night
On the tree
In the forest
Blanketed by the sky
At the moon
Not the stars
For his lover to come soon

Don’t you my love?
I know I sure do!
