Ever does the new moon rise
Yet black in the clearest autumn skies
Undaunted by earth’s rotation abound
Creeping ever so slowly above the soft ground
~~~~
As early the glory of morning sleeps tight
The day brings it refuge to open with light
But only to fall back to sleep once again
Brings closure to dream of a new morning’s grin
~~~~
The heart on its journey can be quite the same
To open and close with emotional aim
While we wonder throughout our life in a daze
It’s a challenge we face walking through life’s maze
~~~~
And doors have their hinges that swing to a stance
They’re open or closed as they move in the dance
We all are like doors if we look at our lives
We open and close like husbands and wives
~~~~
While some of us never quite reach our crest
Like the moon we shine full when we are at our best
Relationships often take the same road
Making too much of one thing to carry a load
~~~~
But when that load becomes too much to bear
We wane like the moon and start not to care
It happens as mortals for that’s what we do
We wax and we wane in relationships too
~~~~
So keep your heart light and look to the stars
For you never quite know what might create scars
Yet scars are a sign that you truly did live
And for that be thankful that your heart can still give
Luckily, there doesn’t seem to be a limit on what our hearts can give, or receive for that matter. Well said, Kevin…

This is beautiful, Kevin, and it has such a gentle and truly classic feel to it (makes me think of Frost). Well done.
