Ode To the Lunula
O fountain of knowledge
crescent moon of
compassion
outpost of fortune
and failure,
your watchful eye
has seen a million heartbeats
flood the river
of life
steadfast, your window
to the soul survives
pitched battles
amidst loss,
and triumphs
course
correction
I take your hand in
mine and gently trace
the outline of
your life
far from your heart,
you speak of
floods and
rivers of
delight
the sweetest songs I
hear you sing
and sadness belies
your colored rings
my wish for you
flows in my veins
to shine your
light,
forever
bright
