Duet with the Wolf Moon (pay a compliment, ask a favor)

You are so beautiful and bright Please give me peace,
I want to sleep tonight

You are brilliant, you light my way home I want to be relaxed
Rest my old bones

All the wolves howl to your beauty
I want you to look out for everybody In TOC please

[interlude]
The pack of wolves are standing their ground and are heading upon the open air, that’ll allow it to be known among the wilderness. The lookout is a top predator among the dark side and it is well-known beneath the reflective lights that gleam! It’s thee, gray owl, perked up its ears that slowly moved towards the prey. He senses a movement beneath the soft snow. The mouses and rodents roam below the snow in a hidden tunnel, to feed and be kept warm. Finally the silent killer pinpoints on his flight, then pounces his claws and grabs hold of his prey, and so too pulls upward above the snow with his dinner.

Hail! full moon, ruler of night
Guide me and mine until the light
And let Chico howl forever with his pack.

Your shimmering light off the snow is beautiful.
Use the bright light to guide people who have nowhere to go Help them to get there safe

You are beautiful,
Please give me better sleep at night.
Full moon, full heart, full bellies, and puppy kisses

Illuminate the night And bring love's light To life

I send a love poem to you on a turtle Water is our element
Ocean therapy

[Outro]
The moon is a source of light to wake some creatures, to guide others in the darkness, to let us know we’re allowed to sleep and have rest. It takes the place of the sun in the sky, keeping the same light the sun possesses but helps us transition from the blueness of the day into the blueness of night. Thank you for being the same moon that we’ve looked at and the ones who have come before us. Thank you moon for inspiring Pink Floyd to write that album. Thank you, moon, for the tides. Thank you, moon
