I'm Sorry Moon

The full moon shining through the trees
Scent of winter in the breeze
Wish I could sing and howl just how I feel
The pack has gathered on the hill
Where they can sing and howl their fill
Coz when you howl you know you're not alone
The Sun must always bring the dawn
Sun must set when day is done
The Moon just comes and goes as she pleases
The Moon won't answer when you call
And She may not rise at all
But when the Moon shines you must dream or you must sing
And I would if I could but I can't so I won't
Would if I could but I can't so I won't
Would if I could but I can't so I won't
Would if I could
If I could
If I could
I'm sorry Moon, I love your light
But I can't sing to you tonight
I can't howl out loud and you're so far away
My broken voice won't fill the air
I know that you don't seem to care
You may not need my song but I need to sing it anyway
And I would if I could but I can't so I won't
Would if I could but I can't so I won't
Would if I could but I can't so I won't
Would if I could
If I could
If I could

Sublime

Frightened by the eerie glow of
Lightning through the clouds
The freezing rain that tastes like death
And wraps you like a shroud
Rain hisses, thunder rumbles
The colors fade away
There’s no more white and no more black
There’s nothing left but grey
Your fear is not unjustified
You’re not just paranoid
There’s nothing you can run from
In the formless, shapeless void
A gust of wind surprises you
And you find you’re spinning ‘round
You try to catch your balance
But no longer see the ground
A sudden stroke of lightning
Gives just a second’s glow
And then you catch a fleeting glimpse
Of treetops far below
You make yourself stop struggling
As you take a ragged breath
If you free yourself from this stormy grasp
You’ll plummet to your death
Your sense of self is waning
Your world is losing form
In terror and in hopelessness
Surrender to the storm
The icy howling wind sings
The lightning dances ‘round
Sublime transcendent chaos
Then you remember the ground
Your tears of joy are falling with the rain
Your frightened screams are lost in the wind
And you’re falling are you dreaming and you’re falling are you dreaming
You wake up to the sunshine
Smiling warm upon your face
The ground is strong and solid
And there’s color everyplace
The storm is dissipated
You’re safe and warm and whole
You’re a self back in the world again
You’re a body and a soul
But this world is merely beautiful
This world is merely safe
The memory of chaos
Makes tears stream down your face
