Lunar Lullabye
Another dark night has finally passed
My frenzied mind has slowed--at last!
6 AM--it's been a long time coming
Yes, it's bedtime now
I lift the blinds, peer outside
Nothing else in the world is alive
Only me--only me, the night, and the moon above
It is now that she speaks to me--
now that she shows me her magic
Now--that she and I are one
Sweet Selene tucks me in
And with a gentle silver kiss--
good night
Sung to sleep by the peepers
Rocked gently by the springtime breeze
I settle in with the sinking moon
And say my little prayer--
"I see the moon, and the moon sees me;
"God bless the moon, and God bless me"
