about

Dedicated to David Buckel

The Moon is Full is about the sudden loss of a loved one, and the pain and the healing that comes after. It's about the process of letting go and also starting a new life cycle of planting seeds. When in the midst of despair we don't know for sure if the pain will lighten, but we can plant a seed and hope for it. The mantra at the end "I pray that the seed will grow," starts off in a moment of blinded pain, and then starts to really expand into a larger awareness. More and more people start to sing and we know that when we are held in our grief by community, we can get through it.

lyrics

Why did you leave that way
Your letter spoke nothing of pain.
Why couldn’t you’ve shared your sorrow
‘Stead of hiding it in flames.

Ashes in the park ground
Spread out in the soil.
I dig my hands into the body
The body, the earth, the grave.

I place some seeds into the ash
Hoping that new life will come.
And as the flower rises,
We’ll know that death can grow.

The moon is full and I must let you go.
The moon is full and I must let you go.

I pray that the seed will grow.
I pray that the seed will grow.
I pray that the seed will grow.
