Moon Time


Graced orb of beauty in darkness surround
Below you we dance in your glow.
Hear our chant for prosperity found
In green time or new fallen snow.

The essance of man is measured in mind
but yours is measured in deeds
Most are oblivious to your power over earth
Will we grow flowers or will we grow weeds?

The sea churns to your steady climb
Over the planet below.
The calender turns as you disappear
and then continue to grow.

Man has forgot what the earth has not
O Goddess of an earlier times
That you rule the world with your pull of the sea
and  beauty I hope all will find!

    Think "times" should be "time"?
