The Cryptic Moon
Follow me not you gypsy moon, hiding behind clouds
I know you floating high spinning around and around
Flower moon of May glimmering bright and full
Do the prairie blooms bow to you touched by laughing winds
Do the tides wave to you pulled by your might
Ancient companion to mother earth
Why do you hide the secrets of your birth
I hang my hat on the crescent moon
Listen to the coyotes serenade you with earnest howls
Why so mysterious
Where did that man go
Children's rhyme teases of a sphere of cheese
Jumping over with a cow and a spoon
Lovers snuggle under your glow
How long has it been since you felt the footprints of man
Walking into the night the sky clears
And you old moon follow me
If I climbed to the very top of the mountain's peak
Tippy toe and arms up to reach
Could I touch your old moon face
Would you smile and turn new
Or are you content being blue sad
Are all the answers in twinkling stars in space
