The Gray One's Diary
Poetry is the journal of the sea animal living on land, wanting to fly in the air. Poetry is a search for syllables to shoot at the barriers of the unknown and the unknowable. ~Carl Sandburg
The Whole of the Moon
And the one before that:

The whole of the moon
Waterboys

I pictured a rainbow
you held it in your hands
I had flashes
but you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
while you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon

you were there in the turnstiles
with the wind at your heels
you stretched for the stars
and you know how it feels
to reach too high
too far
too soon
you saw the whole of the moon

I was grounded
while you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
you cut through lies
I saw the rain dirty valley
you saw Brigadoon
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon

I spoke about wings
you just flew
I wondered I guessed and I tried
you just knew
I sighed
...but you swooned!
I saw the crescent
you saw the whole of the moon

with a torch in your pocket
and the wind at your heels
you climbed on the ladder
and you know how it feels
to get too high
too far too soon
you saw the whole of the moon

the whole of the moon!

Unicorns and cannonballs
palaces and piers
trumpets towers and tenements
wide oceans full of tears
flags rags ferryboats
scimitars and scarves
every precious dream and vision
underneath the stars
you climbed on the ladder
with the wind in your sails
you came like comet
blazing your trail
too high too far too soon
you saw the whole of the moon
