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
