Moon’s High Shadow
Beneath the morning sands of here
and other colored lands so near
the soul of earth and time before
along a vast and distant shore
through older bluer skies we breathe
atop the vacant ancient seas
where rock and needle now reside
within a silent sunlit tide
of gentle life and noble tree
and many other eyes to see
the starry nights of moon’s high shadow
across the sands and evening meadow
under feathered wing and cloud
and call of life we hear aloud
