Moon Angel Poem by Rik Bertrand

I have been swept away and forgotten,
I spend my days and nights alone.
All for the love of a mortal man,
One kiss, on the beach, in the sand.

Protect and care for, but do not touch,
Defend from evil, and stay on path.
Only one rule did I break that night,
And for that rule I was set a flight.

I have be vanquished to far out reaches,
To a place where my meaning is lost.
I have become one with the stars above,
All because I fell in love.

I am the Moon angel; I am so alone,
And I am waiting for the Lord's decree,
Oh, how I wish he would set me free,
So I may once again a human be.

Moon Angel, Moon Angel, Oh, so alone
Moon Angel, Moon Angel, Oh, so alone.
I wait for the Lord to do what is right,
And Release me from this moon tonight.
