Glorious Moon

Glorious Moon Lonely night I search for light of new moon sadness absent, seek its comfort so soon When weak are joys, hopes strewn across my path wash spirit in wet of celestial bath Worse are nights that despair crowds deeply in dark blocks memories of lovers and friends Salvation beams down Old Man in the Sky igniting love as tears drop from my eyes Shadows flee from beams of inspired moonlight wash my heart in love that vanishes fright Spirit offers, moonlight joy as its gift rays of happiness blessings soon uplift Blessed nights, crystal skies serve the moon music fills my heart, I dance to its tune.
