Allow

From afar
We can see the stars
But the light and the spirit
Allow us to be near
if the moon stands still
we may climb the hill

Great words. We can certainly reach there in many ways.

Such a beautiful image -- I can imagine a pathway of light to follow.

... "if the moon stand still

... how refreshing, loved how you used the word "allow".

Sandra, this is brilliant!
I do think that if you could hurry you could climb the hill before the moon leaves even if it didn't stand still. [:-)] [Getting back? You'd best bring a flashlight.]

As the other lines rhyme I wanted so badly to add an 'it' to the fourth line to complete the rhyme.
Only problem it is singular and stars and light and spirit make need for a plural pronoun such as them (stars).
Something like this: (?)
"But the light [is ???] the spirit
Allow us to be near it
if the moon stands ..."

...
I wouldn't want to change its meaning one bit though.

It is soooooo pretty, as it is, but having it so close to perfect end rhyme if it were mine I would lose sleep for a bit. :-)

Ah! this was so profoundly touching.. Great, great words there... that sort of lifts the veil off our mundane existance, allowing us to perceive and explore the higher, divine entities..
