Half a Moon
Half a moon hangs high above,
So perfect it seems fake,
But thinking it’s tied up with love
Would be a real mistake.
Romantic moons are never half;
They’re crescent or they’re full.
Romantically,‘twould be a gaffe
Succumbing to its pull.
No, half a moon, like half a mind,
Will not let us forget
What’s coming or what’s left behind
Will better this one yet.
