Moonlight on the water
By
BobbiJo McBroom

Things here aren't what they seem, they trick the weary mind
I ran to catch a glimpse of stars, and Lo what did I find
A field of flowers stretched out, as far as the eye could see
What cruel Goddess have I wronged, who'd play this trick on me

I rode here on a shooting star, to see what I was here below
The ride was long and I was tired, I came so far you know
I fell asleep beneath a tree, and then when I awoke
I'd drifted off beside a lake, my lovely boots were soaked

The sky is such a pale blue shade, not dark as when I came
There are beings of such magic here, but I know not their names
Just when I think all is lost, I notice something strange
That one bright star has moved down the sky, the light begins to change

The darkness that I love so, has settled down once more
The moon I noticed coming down, is shining as before
Ah there they are the stars I know, winking into sight
From down here on your Earth, they give such a paltry light

There upon the water rests my dear friend moon
I'll beg of him a ride back home, I must get there soon
Just as he settles in, to kiss himself goodnight
I touch the moon there on the water, I grasp it's shining light

I stride the trail it sketches, across the lake so still
I step onto the silvery bridge, and drawing on my skill
I walk the bridge across the lake, and keep the moon still in my sight
As he lifts his shining head I ride, his moonbeams into the night

I surf into the starry void, back to whence I came
Those mortals whom I met down there, cannot recall my name
I never will again come down, I love living here on high
I am free to wander where I will, I have regained the sky!

Let's see: How about Bliss for the next title?
