Let Me Gather Shards of Moonlight

LET ME GATHER SHARDS OF MOONLIGHT

Let me gather shards of moonlight,

From the specter of lost dreams;

Let me wrap their fragile pieces

For the wonder just within. 

Let me pick up shards of promise

From the shores of borrowed time;

Let me piece them all together,

Let me know they're truly mine.

I will mock the haughty raindrops;

I will dare the winter chill.

I'll defy the ruthless sunshine,

For the moonlight's mellow gleam.

Then with moonbeams glowing softly,

I'll search for the  half-sung song.

I will tame the colored rainbow,

That I watched in awe so  long. 

I will chase the dreaded shadows

Lurking just beneath the gloom;

And with moonlight's guiding radiance,

Find the beauty and the song!
