The Softness of Moonlight, the Strength of the Sun
At first I was filled with momentous pride
Standing in the deserted parking lot in awe at the moon
Feelings of unfamiliar nothingness engulfed me as the light
Shined on the parts of my heart and mind hiding in the dark
More thinking caused a loss of air
Submerging me beneath the gleaming surface of mysterious waters
My mind trapped me in its murky waters
Barely visible from below, six feet deep laid my pride
Inhaling to take a deep breath of air
Tides raised and lowered at the sight of the moon
Comfort fled, fear bred in the dark
Ignoring my trembling, God’s Grace served as a bright light
Like a ship lost at sea, I needed a guiding light
Rumbling from enraged waters
Flipped over my ship, plunging me in the dark
Crying for the shore, I sought more to find buried pride
The waves calmed as I found support from the moon
Rising to the surface, my lungs happily greeted fresh air
A short-lived escape, my oxygen tank ran out of air
Lacking breath, I lost sight of the light
Once again I sought guidance from the moon
Like a maestro with his orchestra, she conducted the waters
Crashing through seas, yearning to find my pride
Desire illuminated my soul to drive out the dark
Still, the tiniest corner of my mind remained in the dark
Inhaling once more a gallon worth of air
Determined was I to unite with my pride
Down below in the deep abyss was a shining light
Going against opposing currents of raging waters
Utilizing the strength of the sun and softness of the moon
Thank God for the gentleness of the moon
Without her aid I would be lost in the dark
She guided me through murky waters
Allowing me to breathe easily without polluted air
God gave her the light
To restore my soul and refill it with everlasting pride
