Moon Five times have you greeted me On this day Though all around me changes You remain constant First Set amongst the black of pre dawn You illuminate my street Crisp, round, dominant The streetlamps weakly copy your splendour With their modern white lights Second I Ieave my house The skies have awakened No longer the black Now a pale blue Mixed with oranges and mauve You, moon begin a slow surrender To this new backdrop As if pastilles had sketched you And you seem resigned To melt into the day Third Higher you stand And the palette pure blue And there you are still Present yet receding More distant Standing softly in the morning sky As if to say 'Farewell my night I will remain here forever Watching the world Hidden and waiting For your return' Fourth You dissolve your perfect roundness Miracle ball of rock And disappear from view Always there Pulling my imagination As you become Nothing but a wisp among the clouds Swallowed like death By the day I work I do what I can I return home Exhausted Fifth Evening You stand watching me In the fresh darkness Brighter than ever Half way through your daily revolution And the stars are with you now Just as they always are And I am another half revolution Closer to The end

Five greetings of the moon
Moon Five times have you greeted me On this day Though all around me changes You remain constant First Set amongst the black of pre dawn You illuminate my street Crisp, round, dominant The streetlamps weakly copy your splendour With their modern white lights Second I Ieave my house The skies have awakened No longer the black Now a pale blue Mixed with oranges and mauve You, moon begin a slow surrender To this new backdrop As if pastilles had sketched you And you seem resigned To melt into the day Third Higher you stand And the palette pure blue And there you are still Present yet receding More distant Standing softly in the morning sky As if to say 'Farewell my night I will remain here forever Watching the world Hidden and waiting For your return' Fourth You dissolve your perfect roundness Miracle ball of rock And disappear from view Always there Pulling my imagination As you become Nothing but a wisp among the clouds Swallowed like death By the day I work I do what I can I return home Exhausted Fifth Evening You stand watching me In the fresh darkness Brighter than ever Half way through your daily revolution And the stars are with you now Just as they always are And I am another half revolution Closer to The end
