I think its about how, as a musician, sometimes you lose inspiration and get artists block or something.
The first verse (IMO) describes how he feels when playing the piano/making music ("I climb the ladder of those black and white keys") and how it can take you to another place completely. ("They take me out and into places some are real some are imaginary...")
The next verse tells how inspiration has suddenly struck again, after not being able to come up with anything for a while. ("Tonight I see the sunny moon is rising again/Three seasons passed since you were here...")
I've had that before, where you get a block for a really long time, and start to wonder if you've lost it, but then it comes back and you feel all relieved and go back to doing whatever ("And I see that you were glowing in the shadows/And you've been here all along/Ah you never left my side") with so much more enthusiasm ("now I feel my arms grow/Stronger")
The third for me seems to be a reminder or a warning, to never forget how you felt when you first discovered the joy mentioned in the first verse ("You may forget the details and you can forget the dates but never/
Forget the moment when the light revealed her face...")
I think that the line "To be poor by lack of money but by god be rich in prize" is about maybe being a musician/artist who isn't successful, and might not be making much money, but they're rich in spirit because of what they can create, and because they love what they do.
And, uh, the rest of the song is missing, and i don't have the song handy to listen to :/
Sorry I wrote so much ^^;
