about

Written for the July 2021 Circle Sanctuary Full Moon Circle, "Sacred Gardens", I greatly enjoyed researching the Ipomoea Alba flowering vine and learning about its lifecycle, and its history of sacred uses. I hope its beauty translates through this song to you.

Flower Of The Moon
Meren Edna Marie King
July 22, 2021

[Dmaj7] [Am7] x2

[Dmaj7]Come take a walk with [Am7]me, through our
[Dmaj7]Mother's Sacred Garden [Am7]
[Dmaj7]Gaze upon the [Am7]beauty, of Ipomoea
[Dmaj7]Born to inter[Am7]twine, beneath the
[Dmaj7]Sun, in all its glory [Am7]
Yet you will [C]find, that its [G]True Love, is the [A5]Moon.

[A5]Bursting forth from a [C]hard, brown seed
[G]Soaked well by summer [A5]rains,
[A5]Growing quickly 'neath a [C]clear sky, Roots
[G]running deep, far and [A5]wide,
[A5]Spreading out its many [C]heart shaped leaves
[G]Dancing in a wandering [A5]breeze,
And when the [C]Autumn falls, [G]myriad flowers burst [Dmaj7]free.

[Dmaj7]Riots of [Am7]color, fill our
[Dmaj7]Mother's Sacred Garden [Am7]
[Dmaj7]Sunflowers and [Am7]Asters, Dahlias and
[Dmaj7]Henbane [Am7]
[Dmaj7]Roses, Mari[Am7]golds, and Lotus
[Dmaj7]Blooming in the Sunlight, [Am7]
Yet Ipo[C]moea's Bright Irri[G]descence is for the [A5]Moon.

[A5]From out of the [C]Twilight
[G]Sweet fragrance fills the[A5]air,
[A5]Pearly white trumpet [C]flowers, turning
[G]faces to the night[A5]sky,
[A5]Spreading out amongst its[C]nighttime kin
[G]Weaving in the silvery [A5]light, and
And when the [C]full moon comes, [G] Ipomoea shines so very[Dmaj7]bright.

[Dmaj7]Sister to [Am7] Gardenia, brother to Night
[Dmaj7]Blooming Jasmine [Am7]
[Dmaj7]Cousin to the [Am7]Darkness, in our Mother's
[Dmaj7] Sacred Garden [Am7]
[Dmaj7] Friend to Moth and Beetle [Am7] who drink deep
[Dmaj7]of the sweetest nectar [Am7] and when the
[C]night is done[G]spent flowers, carry their seeds home[A5]

[A5]Now you know of Ipo[C]mea
[G] Lustrous Flower of the Moon[A5]
[A5]Shining bright there in the Dark[C] for the love of that
[G]Ever present, ever changing [A5]orb.
[A5]Whether dark or whether [C] bright, it blooms the same
[G]As faithful as the turning [A5]world
[C]In its Dance[G]with our glorious[Dmaj7] Moon [Am7] [Dmaj7]
[Am7] [Dmaj7] [Am7] [Dmaj7] [Am7] [Dmaj7]
