Ending Moonshine
Ending moonshine
We shall linger in the silence of the darkest of
nights
Here, where we hear no whispers in the mist and the wind,
Still a pilot looks beyond western skies
To where the moon is full and red,
But calm are the emotions held inside
While she waits for the passing of night
Budapest seems far from Bangladesh, too far like the eye from the heart,
Yet the moon and stars shine lucent beams
Into the darkness that is bathed in shadows
By the rays from kingdom come,
But to her remains a gloom of night
And the calm of evermore
Idol songs are bequest to her ears
When obscure is this early twilight,
And take note of sounds when minuets expire
And wind blows away the night,
But at what shall look when our moon appears
To hold off the early light
Buried in the silence did wake the day
Cluttered by whispers of a dying night,
But listen, now deep in the mist of morn
Lays abandoned her silken veil
Beneath the ascending sun
