By Moon's Light

rains clear 
the moon shines bright
facing west 
thoughts take flight
with a crumpled pack of cigarettes
judgments muse minor regrets

torrential showers dry my eyes 
me and myself judge a shallow I
the past has passed
no future set
judgments squandered with some regret

a new day’s dawn bringeth light
lumination transcends plight 
obligations shorn of debt 
rationalized sans regret

hand me a key to unlock the sky
I seek the stars in the halo you ply
