waning crescents
aware always of the space
savor the moment you are in
a smile on your face
the dress code of the moment
few waning crescents left possibly
for some... yes some of us
still smiles are there to give... plenty
kisses to loved ones perhaps
arms to shoulder high eyes upward
hand touches earth... you brush lightly
and laugh... laugh laugh at life hard
dance the waning moon shining brightly
delight in the few that’s left darkening
enjoy give yourself some crazy amour
big hugs of laughters life’s been caring
bend swing-touch the earth once more
full of life you are it is contagious
will break out an spontaneous
merriment from friends around you
in high spirits as well now are dancing too
alive mindful alert yet wondering
as always but more than ever before
on this crescent moon disappearing
down accept you do... last savoring of life’s lore
Ah... look! behold! back is a life’s longing!
a wish for many more moons waxing
more solace moments of the singular all
ugly few but mostly all... all that is wonderful
no sweeter than this seeing brighter
the face on the moon getting fuller
