A MOON GLOW MINUTE
The moon-glow softly lit the clouds
a lunar shroud
a lunar shroud
the nights beauty
for us to see
The garden where magic resides
love does abide
treasures we find
love does abide
treasures we find
presence of mind
Here as the night glow gently sways
the magic stays
the moon glow sighs
Sun's on the rise
