La Luna

This piece is in honor of tonight's Strawberry Moon on Friday the 13th in June 2014. Thanks to peacefulmind.com for use of their image.

La Luna, La Luna

Strawberry moon looming large in my heart

Gently glide your light across my night sky giddy

Drawn by your pull on my soul

I long for the shores of my island home

 

While you rest on my horizon for a moment

You bathe me in ancestral light

Algonquin dreams of strawberry fields ripening

Soothe my weary heart with whispers of hope to come

 

La Luna la Luna

Sing me songs of yesterdays gone by

Stir me with the visions of your views of man’s folly

Countless times you’ve hung overhead watching

Rhythms of life march on as you parade overhead

 

Lull me to peace with those soft color glimmers

Ever present, with a mysterious pull on the tides

Life dances to your tunes unaware

Light the darkened path of man’s traverse with wisdom

 

La Luna La Luna

Kiss me now while your light still shines on my cheek

Too many years will pass before you come again on the 13^th

I ache to feel your cool breeze in my desert home

I long for your light to linger on my breast

 

Mystery fades as you come into view illuminating this globe

Your touch invades even the coldest hearts

Soothes even the guarded temples of the most high

Touching all life equally

 

La Luna La Luna

Return to us swiftly for we need your illuminating grace

Jeweled beauty dangles like a necklace on the universe

You’re a shiny bauble to tempt us out of pettiness

The unifying light that shines on us all equally

 

Bring understanding and compassion to each living soul

Illustrate for us man’s inhumanity to man and nature

Change our perceptions that we may see the world as one

That we may all dance to the beauty of loves perfection

 

La Luna La Luna

Spill your sweetness out upon the world

So next time mankind will greet you with agape

God’s speed on your return to us

You know better than any our need for you here

 

La Luna La Luna

Dance across our night sky giddy

A soothing (soul-rejuvenating even) read that brings strawberry-flavored spirit to the cafe walls.
"Spill your sweetness out upon the world" indeed!

Thanks for the share
