Moonphases

New
Lonely darkness enveloping
The hopeful anticipation –
Mixed heavily with fear
Betwixt it all…
Blessings and Stigma
We wait

Tides surging
Waves breaking
As the painful expulsion begins
Dependably on time

Waxing
Fingernail of illumination
Glowing eerily in the dark light of
Midnight
Preparation for destiny
Beatification
We wait

Desolately Dry
Praying
For rain to nourish the ground
To be ready in time

Full
Our intermittent minuet
Again remembered
Fluid steps
Collapsing, into satisfied
Slumber
We wait

Warm and inviting
Future captured in
Diminutive glimpses - perhaps
Now is the time

Waning
The hands revolving
[Desperately slow]
Unbearable the weight
Not knowing
Suffocating
We wait

Anne’s candle
Softly lit
Appreciative
Of her time
