Phases of Light and Life

Moon and sun
Sucking away time
Rule our lives
With no reason
And less rhyme

The moon is broken tonight
Orange
Playing the sun
Showing us the desires of our heart
Fantasy leading to art

Yesterday it was like a lamp
Without a pole
Giving us reason to believe
In being whole

Today it is as shattered glass.
Half the burning remains of celestial embers
The rest locked forever
In an explosion of heavens
Resulting in naught but dust
And dreams crushed

The moon hangs overly bright,
Overly white,
Beautiful light

Tonight the moon is gone
Nowhere to be seen
The remnant of a dream
That despite all the wishing in the world
Must someday die

The moon has returned this night
Like a shining white knight
Bringing back time
And with it
Hope
