When I was a boy with a smile, the darkness came
Overtaking me for years and years
It was not easy escaping the blackness, a hole in life
It was not easy moving to the light
But you are light
And I have become a moth to your glow
In the warmth of the shine, I know there is safety
You have locked away the shadows that once held me
I am amazed by this act of pure love
Love is hard for me, as you know
Love for me is like a piece of string
You can wrap it or tie it or just lay it out in a straight line
The full moon moved across me last night
Its brightness, a silver light hanging like a wide curtain
Illuminated my thoughts for a moment
And I was lost in the light
I believe moons were meant for you
There are more than one, you know. There are hundreds out there
Flying in ancient rhythms, orbiting this world and the unfathomed
I think God made the moons for you.
To fly in glimmering freedom
The darkness seems so far away now. Once it was close
I know it will never be out of my life, a fact I accepted long ago
It has a pointed tail snaking out from under the door
But your God moons give it a sheen and shadow
Locked in a helix of light
We fly together, out over the winds, the waves and down the valleys
Into the face of a spiral
And we hear music of re-birth saying this is forever and thank goodness
