 PRESSED BY THE MOON

Pressed by the moon

Into an unknown 

Lured into the mystery

Of its spell

Staring at the glow

Knowing of the effect

On the oceans tides

Wondering if an internal

Change really happens

What I see reminds

Those who gaze

Those who wish

And those who count on

The forces of the orb

Will you pull

On the waters 

Of my life with

The ebb and

The flow

Like an opened page

Giving and emitting

Energy to make dreams

Filled with passion

That exercise the strength

Of the brain 

The organic computer

Shine more shine
