Ask the Moon
Ask the Moon
Will somebody ask the moon for me
so that I may then know Why those we love are swept away
from life that loved them so Will someone speak in natures tongue
of why the wind does blow For then perhaps we understand
where all our lost ones go sweet sunshine shed a ray of light
on suffering and pain Tell of who invented this
and what they had to gain
oh mystery please come to me
and break the clouds in two
shower me with clues
that they are taking care of you
each leaf I hold with seasoned change
I dedicate to you
for every second owed to you
I trace within the veins
for every tree that sways with me
it rocks me lullabye
I hold you deep within my roots
osmosis tears I cry
walk me through the seasons
the textures of our earth
and fertilise the memories
that tomorrow will rebirth
You flower in the morning
the evening and the whole
Together for
forever more
in spirit, heart and soul.
