Full Moon

There is a full moon peeking
over the clouds tonight,
a bright glowing orb
in a sea of midnight blue.

It looks like an ancient ship  
riding the crests of the waves
If I could just catch its sails
I'd ride the horizon to you.

There's a full moon peeking
over the clouds tonight
lazily sailing along
as it bids me a fond adieu.
