Luna Llena

LUNA LLENA 

A silver moon,
Bright and full

Watches you, writhing, under
Another night you can't get through

If you know, oh if you know
If you’re one of the many few

Bargaining and betting
Their soul to see the day

Hushed exchanges, deals in dark nights
Prophecies, promises, possibilities

You are a river gushing
Through a tunnel with no end

You are a crying torrent
A hailing Godsend

A silver moon watches you
Loyal and ancient and true

She’s seen the tides, how they change
She believes in you, every piece of you

Who will look up to the skies again
At the same point next year

Gaze at the very same moon
You once stared at in fear

And all at once, smile widely
At its impossible light

Knowing you made it out,
Out of that dark night
