Phases

Sort of inspired by seeing a cradle crescent of the moon, like the one in the picture, on the way back from work last night.


For DBJ, with love, always


****

Lying close to me, enwrapped in my embrace
Your youth and beauty intoxicating
Lending me a little of your life force
Joy of living, irrepressibly bursting forth

But then I wake, and know that it cannot be
My chance to connect with you done and gone
That phase of my life now passed, never will I hold you
Like the new moon in the old moon's arms

****

Love & best wishes to all
