Beneath the Shade of the Moon

The wisdom of the moon
Is a shade
beside the stillness of the breathing pond

And I feel myself wonder
If this shade can come within me
And still the wind that blows
From the east

The storms of the crazy
Beast!

The beast within me!

There is a silent wisdom
in the moon
that defeats all logic
the moon is a sage

of dignified age
knowledge and discipline.

The moon is a sage!
