If I Swallowed The Moon

If I swallowed the moon, what would you see?               

Would my love be transparent for all folks to read? 

Would my words and emotions sparkle like stars?

Or twinkle like diamonds, or fireflies in jars?

Would you see the reflection of my soul and heart?

My world all unmasked, not a glimmer of dark?                                                                                        

Would you know me if my light was all you could see?                        

No body or form, just my spirit set free?

'Twas a dream I once had. in the dark of the night,

when the moon was a warm brillant globe of pure light.  

So if you awaken with light in your room,

It may be that I,  have just swallowed the moon!
