The Lesser Light

 

Half-moon’s light

Shines in through my window

Remind me again

With slow pulse of time

True heart beat of life

 

Sun seems to hurry

Day follows day

Each chasing the other

With next on its heels

Breathless recording days of our lives

 

Meanwhile this lesser light

In rule of the night

Enigmatic, advances

At chrono snail’s pace

 

Harbinger of lunacy

Maker of tides

With slow measured stride

Take command of our moments
