Safe in the shadow of the sun and moon,

he hangs on a wooden cross. He bleeds

crimson before me. Although he is as

fragile as a newborn baby, his smile is

flawless. He is a rainbow, a star shining brightly

in his own right. Safe in the shadow of the sun and moon,

he transforms into a ghost. The outside world

will never know his name. The outside world will

never know how truly empty and lonely he feels on the inside.

I care enough to ride out the next tide with him. My love for him

runs skin deep. I kiss him and cradle him to back sleep.

Safe in the shadow of the sun and moon, there goes the

soundtrack of our lives.
