For Moon Shines Down Despite Sun's Coming Glare

For Moon Shines Down Despite Sun's Coming Glare What could life ever give in its returns within each new dawn's slow warming chambers- more piles of white ash from hot fiery burns sores nobody dares to remember? Could Achilles deny his raging will temper his ardor for war's greatest fame, nay, no more than he could so, his weak heel and his mother's deep love that was to blame! Denied truth in love, red-burnt rose too fair how bad should jaded, longing spirit react For moon shines down despite sun's coming glare as if each night's great glee is the first act. R. J.
