Maybe we need hope
Hope that-
When we have no one,
We can trust the moon,
Rising from the gloom,
And it will loom, hanging,
A prelude, telling what will come
But during the day it will fade and we will wonder if it was just a dream that our minds made.
And we try to be strong
But oh, how we long
For the moon that shines through the gloom
Because the sun causes pain, pain for the eye
As it moves through the sky
All too bright, all too much light
Up and down, everyday the same
Maybe we need hope that life isn't just a game
That when the sun sets
The moon will rise
And if it is covered with clouds, dark
The stars will twinkle and we might see the arch of the Milky Way
We can hope that the moon will rise
Until then
We can sit
Whisper quiet things to each other
And hope
