Not Even Not Zen 243: Moonshine

You Are My Moonshine

by Secret Hippie for Diane, Valentines Day 2022

You are my moonshine,

My lovely moonshine.

You grace my lips and

Take pains away.

You’ll never know dear

How bright you’re blazing

How you turn my nighttime to day.

The other night dear

As I was walking

I thought I glimpsed you among the stars.

You made the clouds glow.

Your voice was silver.

I felt warmth from the love that was ours.

You are my moonshine,

My lovely moonshine.

You grace my lips and

Take pains away.

You’ll never know dear

How bright you’re blazing

How you turn my nighttime to day.

When love is waxing

And bodies waning

I see you clearly, your spirit gleams

You lift the chalice

of love's elixer

and I drink from the cup of moonbeams.

You are my moonshine,

My lovely moonshine.

You grace my lips and

Take pains away.

You’ll never know dear

How bright you’re blazing

How you turn my nighttime to day.

You are my moonshine,

My lovely moonshine.

You make me happy

In every way.

You’ll never know dear

How bright your love glows

Please don't take my moonshine away

Please don't take my moonshine away

Please don't take my moonshine away
