Weeping Moon

The road is long
Sad is the song
I don’t know where we are going and before long
Spirit hurts like feet from long voyage burned by fiery tongue

Her eyes cold like diamond hoarfrost
In their depth traveling soul is lost
It might find its way through but at what cost
The moon lighten river of blood first must be crossed

The moon sheds pearl shaped tears
The road like a beacon of hope appears
The dropping of moon’s tears
The very soul of girl with cold eyes hears

The girls’ eyes are now covered by tears
Just as moon will have its own tears
Wind like time will dry those tears
In ballad sang by the wind philosophical question appears

The meaning like fire grows
The girls’ spirit now unfroze
The way of life becomes clear and filled with petals of a rose
The moon’s tears are now of joy not sorrows
