The world may brighten soon

As we catch up to the moon
The higher it climbs
The more our hearts are racing
Stretching out for
The perfect light that
we are often chasing

The cool calm light
Laid out
And covering

The yard and houses

the top of the table
and the time that is spent

Looking towards the window
Silhouettes on
the window sill and floor

We can see out
Past the moving reflections
Looking on

On the far wall
The clock ticking the seconds
Inspired sounds rising that are brand new

Subtle
Whispering
Somehow they seem
to make it through the darkest times
Bringing quiet truth
To the world that we are facing
Search and find
the better life
The breath
and sustenance that we should be tasting
Feel the heights
Overcome the lows
Catch the wind as it flows
Take the fight to the world
Get past all our foes
Hold the fast current that tomorrow knows

The sound of people reaching out
Is soft at first
Have no doubt
As we climb through the shadows
Some slip back into the dark
To wait in silence
Other crash into the light
And develop an understanding

When we break through
We make music and connections
Harmony and synergy
We have to try

At first the world may seem out of tune

As we wait here for the moon
Outside there is light
The more our hearts find grace here
Embrace the moment
The soothing sounds
The ideal light
That we are often chasing
