Lies Under the Moon

Okay, so I'm not a writer by any means. I'm really not. But I was inspired to write these words that were floating around in my head. They came with a slight tune, but I wouldn't call them a song. But nor would I call them a poem. But I'm putting them here to share with you. These words that are mine.

Lies (Under the Moon)

Take me to the river

Tell me what I'll find

Under the moon

Where the water is wide

I seek not for courage

Nor for a sign

There is shadow all 'round

And the water is wide

The family is calling

But they will not find

That which they don't know

The future of time

Your grandmother looked

At me with a sigh

She knew that my smile

And my words were just lies

She told you to leave

She told you to go

But you did not listen

To the wisdom of time

Remember that night

When we looked to the sky

I told you I loved you

But the words, only lies

Now time has come

For me to sail on the tide

One day you'll know

As you look to the sky

Watch the sun rise

As the new day it dawns

I'll watch the moon fall

As the new day is done

I watch your face

As I sail on the tide

From the moon up above

And the stars in the sky

And your day will come

To sail on the tide

In the other direction

And the water's still wide

When that day comes

You will look to the sky

And see nothing more

Than the beauty of night

Into her arms

Your ship you will sail

She was there on that day

When all hope had failed

Why I had left you

To sail on the tide

No one knew why

As I watched from the sky

Your day will come

To look from the sky

For this is a journey

And the water is wide

It was that day

The sun rose in the sky

The truth I would tell you

Your heart it would die

For I gave you but ashes

All that remained

But you can't make gold

From a heart that's in flames

But now you won't know

As you rushed to my side

That my final words

They were only lies
