Winner for June 2014

The Moon, her course through the heavens steers
We, with hope, follow her guiding light
To dance the turning of the years

Through sorrows that throng, through many tears
Through grief, and pain, and sorry plight
The Moon, her course through the heavens steers

Times of peace follow times of fears
As change comes to both wrong and right
So dance the turning of the years

Moon's silver glow the pathway clears
we find each new rhythm in her sight
As she, her course through the heavens steers

As seasons pass, the heavenly spheres
Each mark their place within the height
To dance the turning of the years

So Nature to her cycle adheres
In her changes may we find delight
The Moon, her course through the heavens steers
As we dance the turning of the years
