I can’t escape this blue distress in moods
This is my fate’s phase under the Thunder Moon
As the goddess of night wantonly tempts we whom
Sacrifice our spirit instinctively to appease earth’s fume
Recklessly or humbly we submit betwixt opulence ablaze
As a creature of the deep, I’m helpless to defend this craze
My body reacts to the violent pull and degree of her velocity
While my feelings are tossed to and fro in the depth of her sea
If only I had a choice or control, I could lend power to my soul
But instead I learned to walk patiently and dance within the flow
To all those who together like me endures this parallel existence
Is there no value in serenity, or a desire to equate our position
Since birth others have always evaluated me as being different
Perhaps the natural world rations to each of us her strength
In the fullness of Thunder's Moon we discover our extent
Within her madness we dare embolden love’s certainty
For within every heart beat craves our own security
By the light of that night we can see tomorrow
As we easily forget any reason for sorrow
