New Moon

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”
