far away

1

the moon cracks a thin smile

the night is such a young thing

the darkness is

stars just being born

the darkness is

receding of now

how memory is dressed

in twinkling dark

2

the moon is new

her mouth is slowly opening in song

night by night

3

grandpa

i will miss you

lake by dawn, mist on air

unknown catch out there

grandma

sure as workworn hands

love in each thing she does

i will miss you remembering me a child

and laughing light-eyed

twinkling back the years
