Lunar Life

Waxing and waning, Giving and taking, Walking and waving, Using and making. As the moon’s gravity pushes and pulls the tides by, Your legacy, a single wave, is merely but a sigh, But let this not be all, pull your waves up high, Yes! high and mighty, as the hawk soars the sky. Enlighten everyone with your bright side, Ensure that your dark side is suppressed, In trustworthy friends and wandering comets, you must confide, Leave those that look upon your orbit impressed. Push and thrash against your gravitational limits, The best thing isn’t likely the thing you’re attracted to, But like Finn and Sawyer in the books of Sam Clements, It’s the people that pull you down and pick you up when your too high or blue. Once a long time ago, you too were a growing crescent, You had your entire cycle ahead of you, as free as a bird, But let’s get real where time’s escaping, let’s get back to the present, Use this time to give all those celestial bodies you did wrong, a redeemable word.

Thank you! I tried to create an analogy between the moon and its cycle, and our lives. It worked out pretty nicely
