Sugar-sour on my tongue
June is warm, I feel it start
Something sleeping in my chest
Wakes beneath the silver dark
A little sweet, a little bruised
Ripe enough to leave a trace
Just before the petals fall
A fragrance fills the empty space
Before the color turns to dust
Before the night forgets the bloom
Let me become a quiet fragrance
Drifting through the open room
Strawberry Moon
Shine over me
Wrap this June-born soul in light
Let the bubbles rise
Let the colors fly
Little rainbows in the night
Carry through the blue
What no distance can undo
I will know you by the trace
You will know me by the moon
You were near enough to touch
Then became a distant star
Was it time, or was it space
Turning close things into far?
Light-years can feel like yesterday
When the summer air is still
Every sweetness holds a shape
Every silence has a signal
Before the sweetness turns to dust
Before the color leaves the room
Let the thread between us travel
Softly underneath the moon
Strawberry Moon
Shine over me
Wrap this June-born soul in light
Let the bubbles rise
Let the colors fly
Little rainbows in the night
Carry through the blue
What no distance can undo
I will know you by the trace
You will know me by the moon
Not by your face
Not by your name
Not by the shape you came to wear
Beyond all form
Beyond all time
Your scent is waiting in the air
Strawberry Moon
Shine through the blue
On every life we travel through
Let the bubbles rise
Let the colors fly
Let the rainbow cross another sky
Beyond name or form
Your scent remains, familiar and warm
Not by your face
Not by your name
I’ll know the trace that stays the same
Strawberry Moon
The moon remembers
What we knew
