Moonwane

O fickle moon,
caretaker of souls 
who chase their dreams 
across the skies you
waver now, and waste away
in quiet desperation;
night surrenders to the light 
as reveries fade.
O passionless pale face,
barely transparent, 
bloodless as a dying rose
in the throes of dissolution.

Each new dawn shall birth a new night, a second time to chase dreams and gaze at the beaming moon my friend. A7 Pleasure to read your fine poem...

Sadly, yes our dreams must fade with each new sunrise, but that doesn't mean we cannot dream again... Beautifully written, Keith. I liked this poem very much!
