Magnificant Moon (2000)
The swirling mists of cloud
High on the persuasive pitch of darkness
All symbolize faces and races
While passing through
Our still moon.
The moon quiets.
A respectable presence,
Knowing how to handle all weather
Quietly.
High on a pedestal,
Watching the earth,
Reflecting ourselves,
By offering no opinion,
But listening.
The moon, the hero.
Hiding in the background,
Shining only in darkness,
Allowing us to see
Our popular reflections.
Oh silent legacy!
Oh still glory!
You are the calm one,
The Pillar of our sky.
I will be seeing you soon,
Magnificent moon.
