And then, one day, I recall, a July afternoon

Rocket landed from Earth, and man left footprints on the Moon

 

“Not knowing what I wanted, about the Universe did I roam,

said the Moon, “but once I’d found my Earth, I knew I’d found my home.”

 

Waxing and waning, all part of growing pains

Made no sense the darkness

Moon washed away by rains

 

Perhaps the Sun had not thought this through

and gone down too soon

Dark clouds rush through the sky, crushing out the Moon

 

“One wish to be granted was all I asked, and I think I was clever,”

Said Moon to Earth, “Cause it set life’s course and covered all, just follow you forever.”

 

Sometimes full, sometimes gone, sometimes not all there

Moon, despite my discomfort, your many moods I bear

 

....And in the stillness far and wide

There was just you 

And I.

 

through all lost and won, through the wild ride

through all said and done, you were by my side

 

It was love....dreamy....misty....love

 

How would you know

how it is I feel -

You so far

And ethereal

 

On a moonlit night so bright

with you by my side

in compatible silence

everything felt just right
