Hi friends - is this tacky? Or potentially moving? Confusing? Does it fall flat? More work needed? Any and all opinions appreciated!

There is just one moon
Hanging in one sky
And the stars above
Are shining just for you and I

I will be back soon
Please don't ask me why
I must part our love a while
though it makes us cry

But wherever you are you'll know
That when the stars are shining
There is just one moon and it is ours

You know that my love is inside you
And always above we are tied to
The stars in the skies that we share that will find you
Whenever you open your eyes

And for all of time
You will still be mine
No matter where we are
Just look into the stars
And see me there

It's nice poetry, for today's market the songs rarely makes sense, however yours does. Depending on who your trying to grab would make all the difference, 18 - 30, no, older 50's yes. Don't take no for answer, and keep trying ! And Good Luck..

Thank you so much, writermom! you kind of echoed my thoughts... and re age group - my fears! My target audience: e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y. or at least all seekers of truth, of any age... does that make sense??

I've been working on the song more :) Is this better? (I know its kind of a radical change!)


There is just one moon,
In one kind of sky,
Since the dawn of time
She's been shining just for you and I.

There is just one beating heart,
A symphony of strings,
Life is fragile, pulsing, through our veins,
Drums of joy and suffering,

There is just one sun,
That could blind your eyes,
If you try to find,
Your soul reflected in the skies,

For your soul is many things,
Reflected everywhere,
And your mind is everything,
Its secrets are the open air.

I'm seeking a love that’s connected,
I'll tear down the walls they've erected,
It's time to see you're not protected
Until you can drop your defenses

Don't seek and you'll find what you need to
Don't speak and you'll hear what would please you
There's nothing to fear when you're fearless
As long as you feel what you're feeling

There is just one moon,
In one kind of sky,
Since the dawn of time
She's been shining just for you and I.
