Crescent Moon

Gazing at the sickle moon
Someday I will be a pale star -
A shining light in someone’s dream
Who possessed most of my dreams

I will be finally pain - free
Emptied of the earthly vanities
Of this sickening, corrupted world
With its immeasurable cruelties

Long before there were wars
There were living humans
Walking free in the green fields with 
Fleeting blossoms of the trees

For thousand years they planted
Willow trees deep in the ground 
at Easter spring time of their life
To give rebirth to the silent souls

The moon was a slender crescent
Over the green tree temples
I was falling into a heavy dream
That was my life final sleep
