Don't take me away from the moon
Because that means going away from the stars
And ink black nights
And cloudless skies
It does mean inside
Confined and trapped and marooned
On an island of people who don't understand
Or acknowledge
The fact that the stars do dance
And the moon does speak
Just not in the way you're used to
Not with movements
Nor with words
But something a bit deeper than that
And they don't really get it
The people who don't understand
Are confined and trapped and marooned
On and island of their closed minds
Some people sit on their islands
Content and secure and safe
They don't realize that safety
Means trapped
For those of us not content
We sail away from the shore
Looking for something greater
Than simple words and phrases
Greater than our line of sight
That one can reach
Only once you've seen
The end of the ocean
And the beginning of land
The big idea
Sprawling on farther than an island
Longer than your closed mind
Away from the ones who don't understand
Away from the island
