The strawberry moon

The Strawberry Moon


Beneath the glow of the strawberry moon,  
Life moves in rhythm — not late, not soon.  
Its soft red light up in the sky,  
Feels like the hope we hold inside.  

It changes shape, like smiles and tears,  
Like happy days and hidden fears.  
Each part of life, both big and small,  
Tells a story — we live it all.  

We rise, we fall — we heal, we grow,  
We learn so much from all we know.  
We laugh, we cry, we lose, we find,  
We carry dreams and peace of mind.  

Yet still, the strawberry moon will shine,  
On broken hearts and healing time.  
It shows us: even pain can fade,  
And even scars can make us brave.  

So when you’re tired or feeling low,  
Look at the moon and let it show —  
That life moves on, the dark will pass,  
And love and light will always last.
