Rings Around the Moon
Nature plans to run rings around the moon
Light that’s seen only by the mighty rock
The master brightness fills the countryside
Where there are fields of grey and black that mock
There are flowers that exist which are dim
In the day they are yellow and bright red
At night they are various shades of grey
Lit barely by light of the moon that bled
There’s a sound of a stream that flows downward
It’s black as the night, a source of wisdom
The cool moon covers its bed on the field
And stretches out its hand for its kingdom
The sky and the clouds is where the moon lives
Being beautiful was its heartfelt aim
Blessing the ground with a white glow about
Light shows what to marvel and what to blame
