When the Light Is Low

I feel drunk on moonlight and hope
Reckless from the silver glow

And the whispers of conspiracy carried in
On this restless autumn wind

The sweetness of this life sparkling
A glaze upon my cheeks

I know what price I paid to be this free
And how long to the hour it took to render

Somehow still it dazzles me in sunshine
Robs me of breath and blurs my eyes

Some things are just easier to see
When the light is low
