Moonlighting
Moonlighting
In the moon year
I began to ponder
Of trial about life’s racing,
I thought of life and prayer
I thought of blessing.
Under the clean moonlight,
In the shadow of my hallowed skin
Where the bright moon manifest
And cascades down my path,
I went to the seashore,
Where the gay moon cast
Aspersion on the ocean face,
I saw the rising moon tide
Overwhelmed the uncertain starfish;
Back to where it belongs,
As the moon tide caressed my feet;
I looked at the meek moon
I saw a friend,
A body guard against the uncertain world;
The caressing moonshine catalyzed my dream,
I lay back on the sand
And i followed the lost moon.
