The Story of LUNA

How it all began

Under the light of the silvery moon

Our hero emerges from out her cocoon

Her celestial journey will start very soon

She is Princess Luna born on this day in June

Luna must travel across time and space

Carried by moonbeams in style and with grace

Away from this Earth to a different place

For her last transformation of body and face.

Are you the moon?

She asked the streetlight

That stood rigid and tall and was very bright

I'm not the moon

The streetlight replies

To get to the moon you must look up to the skies

Are you the moon

She asked the headlamp

As the car rushed on by on the road wet and damp

I'm not the moon

The headlamp did roar

To get to the moon through the air you must soar

Are you the moon

She asked of the flame

That flickered on top of the candle so tame

I'm not the moon

The candle did say

Best get to the moon before it is day

The children awoke

And opened the curtains

They'd heard a strange noise

But they had to be certain

Are you the Moon Moth they call Luna

They asked

And as she transformed right before them they gasped

Yes I am Luna

Will you be my friend

Someone I can trust

Until time itself ends

I shall return but for now pull the drapes

Open the window

And help me escape.

Then just like magic

She started to glide

Faster and faster

A magical ride

Carried by moonbeams

That would very soon

Be taking her back

To her home... on the Moon.
