Fallen Moon

I was once a moon,
living in the sky.
Wanting to see the earth
and feeling to be in love,
I let myself falling down.
Since then every night
when watching the sky
I wished I could go back,
but without the wings
I could only dream.

I was once a fish
swimming in the ocean.
Since to all my questions
I could not find the answer
one day,
I jumped out of  water.
Landing on the soil,
I could then see the ocean,
but I could not breathe
and I could never return.

I was once a bird,
and from up in the sky,
I could see the world.
mountains, forests, oceans,
men, women, love
but without hands
I could never hold a hand.
So I wished,
if only, I could have a hand.

 

So I became a man.
In my chest, a heart
beating so strong
I fell in love.
Wished I could hold her hands;
so close yet,
we were far away
living in two different lands.
Not reaching her hands
I wished to be a moon again.
But, it was too late,
since life
had already passed.
