I heard a tale of long ago,
about my brother moon;
myth or fact I do not know,
if what was said was true?

As it goes the story told,
and you older than I,
that I would feel incomplete,
without you to light my sky.

Brother moon where are you now?
I don’t know where to start.
My firmament is incomplete,
and life is growing dark.

I need you here to show way,
and be my guiding light,
so I could look right up to you -
become my shining night.
