By The Light Of The Moon

entry picture

I sometimes sit awake at night

unsure what I should do,

swimming through my thoughts

yeah, all the worries of the day.

I guess I like the solitude,

although I’m feeling blue

there in the quiet moonlight

softly, God opens the way.

 

In dim of night he reassures,

a peace rests in the air.

The things I want to worry of,

they simply melt away,

replaced by visions of what most times

I am unaware.

It makes me want transcend time

and in that moment stay.

 

But soon it’s time for sleep,

in parting, God assures one thing -

that amidst all the toil and strife

he’ll be returning soon.

I drift off without care of what

the next day’s going bring,

blessed by what I felt and learned…

by the light of the moon.
