Quarter moon dances around a star
Stretching the distance it’s traveled thus far
Traveled a’weaving the fabric of dreams
Breathing them nearly to life it seems
Half-moon tentatively lights the sky
Tempting belief that I could fly
Soaring with wings spread wide above
Seeking, searching, finding love
Three quarter moon lights the corners, edges
Of dreams pursued, and friendship pledges
Drawing forth the intrinsic worth
Of my time allotted here on earth
The full moon shines down silvery frosts
Exposing my follies, highlighting the costs
Paid for the manner I chose to live
My soul poured through my being as through a sieve
New moon colors the night sky dark
Yet dreams of future and past are stark
Against the all-consuming black
Underscoring realities for what they lack
On a new moon I was born
On a new moon I shall die
Still seeking the truth
Still asking “Why”
