The Moon, A Planet and a Star

Written by: LEA

The moon, a planet and a star in the midnight sky, well, they're not so far. 70 some years ago. Was it a night like tonight? Guess we'll never know. The light has journeyed for a while just to land on you and to make you smile. On the night I'm dreaming of, it could have been us just discovering love. If you take a photograph, looking back, well we'll have to laugh. We are near and yet so far form the moon, a planet and a star. I wish I may, I wish I might reach into the darkness and grab a light. I would keep it tucked away just to shine for a while on your rainy day. But I have to let it go. It's the law, everybody knows. We are near and yet so far to the moon, the planets and the stars. We are so like the moon, the planets and the stars. I should explain. This song was born on the road. Very literally. I was driving in the midnight hours to make it to a show in Alberta, VA the next morning. As I always do, I was listening to NPR and happened to catch the StarDate information that they gave. The astronomer announced that souls lucky enough to be awake so late would get an eyeful of a cosmic triangle: the moon, the star Regulus and the planet Saturn. Naturally, I looked and got an eyeful of cloud. About 10 minutes before arriving at the hotel, the sky parted and there they were. It was as though they wanted me to see and of course, I was instantly inspired. Perhaps what moved me the most was the knowledge that the light I was seeing was sent my way some 77 years ago. Quite a journey just make me smile for a few moments. To download this song to your computer and share with friends , click this link & retrieve from Audio page.
