The Rising Moon  

 
The moon is rising
Time to think
The day that just passed
Is it fruitful or futile

The moon is rising
Time to have  
Dinner and rest
With or without a mate

The moon is rising
High above the roof 
Refreshing regrets and
Dreams long ago

The moon keeps rising
Shining windows and the door
Warming the heart
To keep it straight

The moon keeps rising
Time to miss
Parents and those close
They’ll always live in your heart

The moon keeps rising
Time to doze and fall asleep
Tomorrow is another day
The dawn beckons first

The moon keeps rising
Nights and nights
Life is nothing but
The forever moon
