Moon from a Child's View
A half-moon
crooked in the sky
I wonder why?
It hangs in the balance
as if about to fall
at the slightest movement
how does it stay?
It seems forever to
dim and darken
soon it is to go out
blotted from the sky
who will change the
moons light?
It appears a bent nail
the reapers scythe
pearl of illusion
love and life-death
how does it survive?
Enthroned it watched
it must grow weary
for it begins to slip gradually
who watches it?
Bent-backed
continuing to decline
it becomes an old woman
but who will keep it?
No surely the world
has gone blind
while its life was snuffed
will no one mourn?
But as a new born infant
a spark-a burst brought
forth and gradually
from all fours it rises
is that the moon again?
