Behold nature‘s lamp

Rising like the sun

At dusk to mirror its light,

It climbs overhead.

Casting its sunlight

On us as it circles past

Our world overnight.

Behold nature’s lamp

Shining through branches standing

In peace on this night.

Look at her beauty

As she orbits overhead

While we turn again.

Limbs and leaves reach up

To form nature’s filigreed

Window for its flight.

A filter that frames

Her beams with artistic styles

But for a moment.

Behold nature’s lamp

Shining through branches standing

In peace on this night.

Look at her beauty

As she orbits overhead

While we turn again.

And gentle breezes

Through peaceful moments passing

Sing her praises sweet.

While the oceans she swells up

Rise and fall with crashing waves

In endless rhythm.

Behold nature’s lamp

Shining through branches standing

In peace on this night.

Look at her beauty

As she orbits overhead

While we turn again.

Can we comprehend

The beauty she casts our way

With such attraction?

Whether a saucer

Full of light, center-to-rim

Or a crescent thin

She rules in her flight

as she waxes full and wanes

down to the umbra.

Behold nature’s lamp

Shining through branches standing

In peace on this night.

Look at her beauty

As she orbits overhead

While we turn again.

Her dance unending

Throughout the distant ages

Still moon walks with us.
