Moonlight Madness

Moondust 2/2/2012


The moon is full of ghosts
Hiding during the day
And glowing in the night
Hiding secrets that no one knows
And pulling at the oceans
To cause the ebb and flow.

There are hidden places
And there are hidden motives
Hidden in plain sight
Dark and mysterious.

Silvered angel hair
Covers the ground
And all the possibilities of time
Converge in my brain.

For it is there
That the battle has raged
Long before I understood
And long before I knew.

From the deepest thoughts
To flights of fancy
My ideas have led to emotions
And emotions to action.

We are both connected
And disconnected
Separated from birth
But sharing a universal heart.

God has called us
But he does not force us
Because it is the choice
That makes all the difference
Between the one and another.

There can be no good
Without evil
And there can be no forgiveness
Without sin.

The souls of men have flown away
And reside in the secret places
Hidden from our eyes
But not beyond our touch.

The ancients knew
And they tried to tell us
But history is lost
By deception and feelings.

A cornered beast fights hard
And the decisive times have come
When there is no longer time to choose
Which side you are on.

The haunting moon knows
And speaks of the ages
Guiding me in dreams
To many forgotten places.

There is more than one kind of madness
And the truth is more shocking
Than what we can guess
Both for the good
And the bad.

But God has given us the message
And the Lord has given us the key
By flesh and blood
The passage to eternity.
