I’ve been imprisoned on the moon

I have learned what truth denies.
I drank the teardrops from her eyes.
I surrendered much too soon.

But I have sailed upon the boat
That flew when there was room to float.
And I drank out of the magic urn.

And I have slept inside the shade
encircled by the love we made.
And I have kissed the face of dreams.

And I have smiled inside the storm
reaching higher to keep warm.
I’ve known love and love has won.


I burned my fingers on the sun.
