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.
