The Promise Of The Moon

A Poem

The night before the dawn

I saw a full new moon bloom

In its rays of silver splendour

I heard it singing loudly:

Forget the dark past

The contractions that sadden earth

Those long nights that darken my shine

And disappeared happy shadows of life



Forget the past when engine wings avoided the sky

And tourist bays turned to desolate landscapes

Look around, the mist is giving way

Heavy and broken sighs forming smiles



Sweet moon stay true

Obtain for me a wholesome truce

Between the dark and dawn of day

Assure my coming paths

Each day of 365s

That healing is coming

That the tides of death are ending
