By the Light of the Moon
Faith is like the light of the moon at night
Yesterday was filled with sunshine
Its warmth upon my shoulders
Its caress upon my rosy cheeks,
Evoking in its memory a tender smile.
Yesteryear’s innocence of a child
The presence of a familiar shelter
Content upon my face, of peace
That even night allowed no fright.
As I stepped out to the open skies
Facing an unfamiliar world
The chill of the wind prompted me to seek
Refuge within my trembling frame and hide.
Looks furtive, voices gone quiet
Streaks of clouds silently entered
The sun, hidden, at times still peeked
Slowly falling, wishing sleep, tired.
Expecting total darkness, felt fright
Feeling lost, not sure where to turn
Sudden tears upon pale cheeks
Raising eyes in plea, just to see the moonlight.
Thankful for its protection, easing smile
Upon my face in renewed faith, a shelter
Brilliant light to help the path to keep
Until I can come to greet again the sunrise.
