Moonrise Gatherings

[Intro] Moonlight spills on quiet roofs, a circle bright and high [Verse 1] Above the fields and chimneys, elders, children, eyes in tune We count the seconds softly, old stories soft as dunes The full moon climbs the lattice, silver threads across our palms We pass the cups, the songs return, in gentle, patient psalms [Chorus] Under one white witness, we gather and reminisce Time folds like a blanket, yet love keeps its promise Generations hum together, in the glow that won't depart The moon blesses every porch where memory fills a heart [Verse 2] A grandmother’s smile breaks the dusk, a father hums the tune A little laugh across the circle, the youth in silver moon Traditions hold like constellations, guiding through the years bittersweet the moments pass, we treasure what endures [Chorus] Under one white witness, we gather and reminisce Time folds like a blanket, yet love keeps its promise Generations hum together, in the glow that won't depart The moon blesses every porch where memory fills a heart [Bridge] If dawn should scatter the light, this glow will still remain In each prepared plate, in every whispered name [Chorus] Under one white witness, we gather and reminisce Time folds like a blanket, yet love keeps its promise Generations hum together, in the glow that won't depart The moon blesses every porch where memory fills a heart [Outro] So let the night ride slow, and let the quiet linger on We rise with the moon beside us, and carry what has begun
