Momentary Moon

It passes so 
quickly
 but the light illuminates 
the night 
   for a moment
   The moon is full
   tonight
  let the few moments 
we have
    before the hourglass 
runs out
 become worthy of our striving
  as we continue our journey
Before we can 
lay down our burden
we must grasp
    the moonbeam 
in our hands
    and before nightfall
We'll take flight!
We'll leave this orb!
Dance on the moon as it circles our 
own blue Earth
