Many Moons


There were many moons rising on the horizon
Several figures in long transparent dresses
outlined in light glided across the water
They were skating in figure eights
The colors were navy blue and white
the figures white against the blue of the night
circling endlessly, careful designs of feminine beauty
stark, simple, round and in motion

We were riding a bus on 2nd Avenue
I was looking out the window
when I realized the landscape had transformed
as if we had driven to another dimension
There where huge round swirls
of black and white clouds
above the dusty fields
I recognized at this moment that I was in a dream
and decided I wanted us to fly
So we did.
Up and over 2nd Avenue
which no longer had buildings
sidewalks, traffic or lights
and which was only an impression
of the city we were lifting away from
now completely baron
but for the dust and huge black and white swirls
spiraling behind

Like You


I close my eyes
And open my mind
Wait to hear your laugh
Between the clouds
You're risen
And you're watching
Now complete awareness
Is your call

I feel you here beside me
Your love
Is a place I understand
In glimpses only
Never fully grasping the deep
Knowing that you've found

And those of us
Who're left in human form
Feel lost without you here
Beside us
Though we're asked to
Understand the meaning
Of your leaving
Though I try I can't refuse
The sadness that
Surrounds my heart

I have your picture
On my wall
Forever young as I grow old
You're waiting for me
And I'm certain that one day
I'll find you in the stars

And when our souls
Meet up again I'll laugh with you
And all the things that I believed
Will finally reveal themseves to me
And then I'll say the words
I've longed to know
Like you I'll say
I love you

Chorus:
I'm always there for you
I'll always be near you
