THE NIGHT SUCCUMBING

The night succumbing to the full moon charms
Enamored with rounded surreal perfection
The silver screen on sky reeling new movie scene
Juxtaposition of the stars stays same but light somehow
Changing into brighter, sharper composition
My hand can pick it up and cradle moon like baby
Admiring perfect shape , the smoothness of the lines
Then lay back on dark tablecloth with shiny threads
Simply pastoral image of the peace in this non peaceful world
Next night will arrive, chipping the pieces off the paragon
Shedding the strings to the abyss of nonexistence
From full to half and back again, completing wheel
Life, death, resurrection , growing, changing
Failing, succeeding , ending and beginning
