Carrie Richards Poet Free verse

To Sing Upon a Crested Moon

On the threshold of the evening
Before me, mounds of dead leaves
Brown, limply sodden, resistant to angry winds
I stand and watch another day's bitter passage
Coiled with the same winter darkness

I croon my spring serenade of loneliness
My voice fills the void with sad lyric
Which dwells over mornings that couldn't be sung
When fog hooded the appearance of the sun
And the frost hid the garland of green

Yet, here, at last, peeking through the doleful gray 
The stars are shining..
As if been sewn upon the fabric of a sequined sky
Beckoning my song to reach the crested moon
With the knowledge that tomorrow will come....tomorrow will come...

Inspired by Brian's Strand's contest "Tomorrow is Another Day"
