By The Light Of The Moon Poem by Jeff Bresee

BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON

I sometimes sit awake at night
unsure what I should do,
swimming through my thoughts
yeah, all the worries of the day.
I guess I like the solitude,
although I'm feeling blue
there in the quiet moonlight
softly, God opens the way.

In dim of night he reassures,
a peace rests in the air.
The things I want to worry of,
they simply melt away,
replaced by visions of what most times
I am unaware.
It makes me want transcend time
and in that moment stay.

But soon it's time for sleep,
in parting, God assures one thing -
that amidst all the toil and strife
he'll be returning soon.
I drift off without care of what
the next day's going bring,
blessed by what I felt and learned…
by the light of the moon.
