A Song to the Moon

 


Hymn to the Moon


I always look and gather

tales of the moon I adore

It never stays the same

Mysterious, more and more


Some nights, like now, its seems to be

A million miles away from me

Far above my house and head,

I bend my knee and lean back to see


But the night before just as it rose

Huge and yellow, yet softly white

It seemed just down the street

A golden night delight


But, yes, the night, just Tuesday it was

Full, it glowed behind the clouds

But once it let its light slip

As if singing quite out loud


Across my neighbors pond

Aglow fresh snow upon ice

A radiant spot in the deep blue night

Reflected lunar paradise


Full its shadows silhouette the lace

Of trees, that dance across the grass

Illuminates the river rippling past,

As glittering starlit sparkling glass


Oh, yes my friend who allures the tides

To go in, go out, each day

Who shape shifts on a mystic path

In rhythmic harmonious way



The Moon keeps our lonely globe

Such sweet sweet company

Oh, yes I want to know my friend

In harmonious perpetuity
