Pale Yellow Flower

The pale flowers blossom in the moon's light:
yellow, and the enticing fairy light –
the boldness glimmering as though the sun
gave its warm blessings as the moon had done.

But below the petals was a dark stain:
the moon's shadow, which brought undeserved pain
to her friends: the people she loved most;
her classmates, and even the lonely ghost

who caught her shadow under the pretty bloom.
