A sliver of time God forgot to tuck away
The earth should never have witnessed
Such quiet begging to be listened to
Any time you chance upon a moon shadow
It is written in the book of "How to Live Life Right"
That you must dance on a frozen lake
And watch your breath float away like fairy dust
Or crunch in slippery cold shoes
Across snow that is six days old
The constellation I always find is Orion
He often sits by the moon, ready to shoot an arrow
Through the star orchestra reflecting
Heavenly singings of angels recorded in long ago light year history
Beware-
Moon shadows will turn a tongue to bluntness
And reveal the cold hard truth
Or, they will make the ordinary a moment never to be forgotten
Like cinnamon rolls eaten in 25 seconds flat
Interrupting life conversations about worship and Nintendo
I would chase moon shadows with you.
To the end of the earth, perhaps
Or even your back yard
