Between the Moon & Me


Sometimes the hour of sadness

Hovers like a cloud 

So fragile and so tender 

Too real to talk about

A finger to my lips

A silent reverie

Just between the moon and me


O how the words unspoken 

Linger on my tongue

Trying to convince me

That what is done is done

But I know what I wish for 

When I’m counting sheep

Just between the moon and me


It’s a minor bird

In a minor tree

The song I know by heart

The key of you and me


And now the past plays tricks

On my memory

Tries to make sense

Out of what will never be

But I am just the prose

She’s the poetry

That’s why she will always be

Just between the moon and me

—Tom Prasada-Rao
