Never mind the clear blue sky, look at the puffy white cloud

"Settle down and shut my eyes," the Moon thought aloud

 

The Moon through the netted branches

formed an Eye,

And I, in my wonder thought,

"Oh my! Oh my!"

 

“If ever I wanted,” thought the Moon on the run

“not turn tail, 'stead swallow up the Sun...”

Unfurling my light days for scope when there is room

I'm Moon in the making, a Moon yet to bloom

 

You can color me any way you like

said the Moon to the Sun

I wear your shades when your day has ended

and mine has just begun

 

It's broad daylight, the Sun is bright

Moon’s invisible, but it's there alright

 

How many hours did you fast, dear one; how long did you pray?

The Earth came between the Moon and Sun; did that eclipse your day?

 

“While you’re there,” said the Moon to the Sun, “the world is there.

When you’re gone, the world will be gone!”

 

Through thunder and lightning

Through Sunshine and rain

Through all that’s frightening

the Moon does still reign...

 

Moon had seen it all, it was time to make amends

spread her gentle moonlight before darkness descends

 

they said the moon was waning, it would be gone all too soon

but the sky flooded with soothing light – ‘twas the Full Moon!

 

There's so much going on below,

Oh my! Dear Me!

Said the Moon, overwhelmed,

“What all I have to see!”

 

Someone sang a country song, someone played a tune

How soothing is the moonlight, how beautiful is the Moon!

 

Painted with dark clouds, too much too soon

Give it time to grow… it’s still New Moon

 

raging storm, core on fire

reaching out

for the Moon, tide’s desire

 

to find a way through darkness, an endless fight

no respite, no respite, on a moonless night

 

'tis your love, that’s all I need; for the rest I am mute-

basking in your Moonlight, my own life silhouette

 

someone tapped me gently, from my dreams to arouse

who is it, I wondered. 'Twas the Moon above my house

 

for you to resolve your maybes and maybe nots

I could not wait

There was never a good time, and when there was

It was too late
