Swirls of color illuminate night

Moonrise watches, with radiant light

Brightens the darkness that covers the sky

Reaches beyond mystical reasons why

I wish I could be up there on a cloud

And yell at the top of my voice, out loud

How beautiful it is, here in space

What it’s like to live, among lunar grace

Surrounded by Heaven’s ethereal glow

As it shines down upon the Earth below
