Dance with the Moon

Dance with the Moon

She danced beneath the swollen moon
in anger and in pain
she stomped and screamed and railed and danced
and all of it in vain

She danced beneath the harvest moon
in sadness and in sorrow
she bent and bowed and and bent again
and looked towards tomorrow

She danced beneath the crescent moon
in fear and worry twirled
with frightened eyes she thrashed about
and tried to flee her world

She danced beneath the bright new moon
in happiness and glee
she did a happy jig of joy
for all mankind to see

She danced the dance of ancient times
bending like a reed
and found she usually danced her best
when she let her partner lead
