The Masquerade Poem by Megan Frame

Starry Starry night,
Dresses laced with blue and white,
Dancing in the pale moonlight,
You take my hand with delight,
Love shown in your eyes so bright.

Rain began to fall all around,
Feet got wet upon the ground,
Oh, the happiness we found,
When we were Neverland bound.

Our guests left, their dresses frayed,
They went inside and left the parade,
But in the rain we twirled and swayed,
It was a marvelous game we played.

Then one day, Life moved on.
I wake one night, you are gone.
I wish that night had not turned to dawn,
Wish we were still dancing on the lawn.

Oh how long life had seemed,
When of love, we had dreamed.
Dulled now, are the eyes that gleamed,
Worn by life and all we'd esteemed.

It has been long since the Masquerade,
Since dancing in the dress of jade,
I've grown old with your aid.
Now, I've no reason to be afraid.
