Contrasts Of A Day


My child, a whole day can be quite obstruse
as the trail of moonglow begins to set
lonesome hours could bring you to a realm, with dreamy tales one can never forget.
Though night-moon glimmers in the woods, 
every leaf tumbles softly with the winds' howl
where petitions drift along pensive swings of lunar grace, of solace deafening:

Still , be joyful when dawnfall breaks;
sunlight bathes  the warm breeze a dazzle, a razzle , a quiver on verdant grass
beguiling every woman and child sweet promise of morn ... and when toil ends , hold that joy in your palm--

for skies bestow peace from grateful hearts.

These keepers-- sun- moon-- become life's harbingers of joy and angst, 
until the ticking  hours greet near dusk again with an intent wish,
My dear one,  it's a prayer of contentment... all these variations rolling ,   flowing  in 

just one day.

Dear Nette, How beautiful! I felt like you had captured the whole feeling of what a day is about, from the mysterious moonlight to the joyful sunrise. I love the line about "petitions drifting on pensive swings." And the ending about finding peace in the sky is perfect. It does make you realize how much can happen in just one day. Great work! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

"These keepers-- sun- moon-- become life's harbingers of joy and angst, " Life is a mixed pack of joy and sorrow. The sun and the moon and the time between their rising and setting---- all give us contrasting experiences. Beautifully composed, dear Nette.
