Balance like the ocean tides
The pull of leaves, and lifting words
Which coat the trees in wind and song

The hum of every burning star
Which falls in arching patterns long

The glowing cats and caterpillar eyes
The worms which gnaw the earth below
And the longing of the youthful juvenile dog

Our earth she looks and see all of these
As I look at you now, knowing that I belong

Moonlight is a special ray
Which falls reflective upon us all
Not all, or all the time, at all

But slowly, and somberly, and softly
It starts with an edge of blue alive
And moves like a slow dance between stars ignite

Moonlight, my old friend
Even now in my minds eye
Over top of us, together, it comes to call

When you're young
You think you know

Can diagnose
And speak for a self

Who is infinitely older
Than that which is shown

When you're young - You think
And that's the problem

You may be able to guess
But you'll never know
