May your changing moods take
you for an exciting ride now..
a journey very exhilarating as
long as you don't fight against
the prevailing winds

Of a mid summer's night Au Clair
de la Lune a need to light up the
flame where serenity awaits your
arrival with a lullaby clear of its
contention "Open your door for
me" mankind..engage in peace
and joy within

~Inspiration for my poem~
French Lullaby:
Au Clair de la Lune
English translation No. 1:
Anonymous

"At thy door I'm knocking,
by the pale moonlight
Lend a pen, I pray thee,
I've a word to write
Guttered is my candle, my
fire burns no more
For the love of heaven,
open up the door!"

Pierrot cried in answer by
the pale moonlight "In my
bed I'm lying, late & chill at night
Yonder at my neighbour's,
someone is astir Fire is freshly
kindled, get a light from her."

To the neighbour's house then,
by the pale moonlight
Goes our gentle Lubin to beg a
pen to write
"Who knocks there so softly?"
calls a voice above
"Open wide your door now for
the God of Love!"

Seek they pen and candle by the
pale moonlight
They can see so little since dark
is now the night
What they find while seeking, that
is not revealed
All behind her door is carefully
concealed!
