Lunamoth

Luna clings to the window

basking in strangeness

a darkened room that we light with a candle

her shadow speaks changes

the fringe where we fall off the universe

is obsolete now

align again somehow

till we remember

Luna glows in the moonlight

we’re delighted to see this

newly emerged from her silken cocoon

along with this sweetness

the fringe where we fall off the world

erase and erode

worn out at the node

till we dance

So dance with me this dance

dance in the space where our eyes come together

where your sight and mine

fold in till we find

there’s only one of us here

only one of us here

and we’re one with the emerald skittering by

and all is united with you and I

Luna glides from the pane

she lands on the trellis

walks on a silver rose petal

got a message to tell us, she says

the fringe where we fall off our fears

it’s time we fell off it

What do we see, what do we feel

wrestling reviving then robbed of what’s real

united in spirit

just slightly off key singing blind barcaroles

what do we gain, what do we lose

confronted by changes, conniving to choose

does it profit at all

to sell back the world if we get back our souls

What do we wonder, what do we dream

our lives and illusions and all in between

shall we follow the moth

as she rises and flies up and over the knoll

Tie us with a frenulum

come and soar with me

celebrate our being together

expect more from me

the fringe where we fall off our mind

is in need of repair

and what solace there

till we surrender

till we dance

So dance with me oh my lover

dance in the space where our touch comes together

where your hands and mine

fan out till we find

there’s only one of us here

only one of us here

and we’re one with the four-wing fluttering by

and all is united with you and I
