by Monica Sherlock

Tonight, the full moon, I look up to the heavens
I think of you and your smiling face
I see a halo on your head
I see you chasing moon beams on a full moon
They say weird and crazy things happen on a full moon
I look up and want to see your smiling face
I see the stars, oh I think I see you paying a harp
You’re next to a choir of angels
Do I feel moon madness 
or is that you reaching out to me
