Moon's Light

It is almost full moon and I am surrounded by Earth in the night light, Up here perched on top of my roof As if I had no where else to go. I feel more real up here than I do down there, Yet I am isolated and still as night’s air hangs on my skin while moon’s light absorbs me into the life we forget as we go about our day. Songs of crickets in the ground wash over the noisy sea Beneath the idea I live as me. I peer through your open window Distracted by the colour of your TV, Cars in the streets, people pacing in their homes. But moon’s light absorbs me away Into the dark blue sky of stars Abundant above in absolute adoration… And I am in awe. Why not this reality set me free? Why am I bound by day and all its modern technology? My spirit is weeping. The longer I sit upon my roof The clearer I see through dark trees and vast seas Alone with the sounds of the night’s world my being years for inner peace.
