Analysis of Eclipse of the Moon
Ron VanHooser 1956 (Franklin County, MO)
Tonight,
the moon bewitched me,
entranced me.
Then I gazed into your eyes
and forgot about the moon.
Tonight,
you are my moon
and my stars.
Only your eyes could
compete with their beauty.
Tonight,
the moon has vanished,
it can't be found.
Gazing beyond the stars, I ask,
"Where are you?"
