as nights keep me awake
looking up to the stars in full show;
i see something i wish the sun wouldn't take,
hoping i would see it tomorrow

people love its monthly forms,
along with the stars fill eyes with delight.
behind the clouds i sense something so right,
my love for the moon fires every night.

i learned to love the darkness
for it hides a beauty within,
i feel warmth with its dimness
yearning for its nightlong company.

and when it disappears,
it splashes the waves to the sea of my fears
did it have itself slide through the clouds,
left as i kept my head up all proud?

but with its faintest rays,
and its invisible warmth,
comes the hope to overcome my frays
and the brightest stars in swarms.

my dreams are of the moon,
and tonight i gaze upon it again
stars in my eyes as i sleep on the roof
gives me a glimpse of the heavens.
