Full Thunder Moon

‘Twas a full thunder moon that rose overhead
It illumined the sky with an orange and red
Sphere of light that softly glowed
In an eerie way that drew me so
To search the shadows of its face
And bear my witness to this place
For I have seen this moon of blood
Seize the light where man has stood
There are no waters deep within
Nor living wells that time transcends
No oceans to rush beyond any shore
And so it rises evermore
Gently pulling at our tides
And asking us to come inside
For a secret rendezvous
As we both gaze the nighttime through
