Lyrics
Moon Flower
Copyright © 2006 David Baumgarten
Your long stalk
deep into the ground.
Lanky branches
serving abundant leaves
to gather light, energy, prana.
Draw up.
Pull it up, into your bud
all that nourishes you.
Extend
with everything you've got.
Let out the beaming yellow flower,
Or are you the sun the sun?
and shine, shine, shine
with your smile
Which is which, from
East to West and
East to West
again.
How delicate, vulnerable that smile
is, but never-mind.
Give it anyway,
even as it turns cold, the yellow fades,
petals drop to the
Earth
for your children's seeds next season.
You will stand, grey and
white
atop that tall stalk
of yours...
grey and white like
a proud moon resting on
a cane of sugar.
You will stand and nourish
the next
season for us all with the
sweetest
seeds,
the gifts you drop
behind for us
simply by
being
you.
