The Blood Red Moon

\nThe blood-red Moon this morning hid her face behind the clouds
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 I didn’t see her blush and fade away
\nThis frozen winter solstice I was lost in sullen crowds
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Of those who saw no beauty in the day
\nBut though I couldn’t see her I could feel her pure delight
\nThe magic transformation at the ending of the night<\/p>\n
From now the days grow longer and we’ll start to think of spring
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And every month the Moon will take her place
\nShe’ll sprinkle shards of silver and the nightingales will sing
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 In tribute to her ever smiling face
\nAnd every time I see her I shall feel you in my heart
\nShe carries reassurance to all lovers held apart<\/p>\n
On some sweet night in summer we will meet beneath her gaze
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 And find our hearts first met so long ago
\nThe rain of sacred moonbeams will contribute to the blaze
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 That only her disciples ever know
\nShe’ll join us in the garden where our story was conceived
\nTo raise a glass of starlight to a victory achieved<\/p>\n
The Moon is best in Autumn over flaming golds and reds
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 Anointing all the best and sweetest fruit
\nAnd she will see the love songs that were written in our heads
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 That time and repetition can’t dilute
\nThe blood-red Moon this morning will still take my love to you
\nUntil she fades forever to a final fond adieu<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
