Phases

Phases A new moon has risen,
A new life begun,
Inky blackness surrounds me,
Paranoia of groups, frightened of loneliness,
Darkness unknown,

A sliver of light appears,
A crescent shaped view of hope emerges,
Anticipation of things to come,
A waxing pale shade of light becomes stronger,
The dark diminishes,

My full potential is reached,
A radiant light shows on the face of the world,
Light overtakes all darkness,
A cosmic understanding,
an infinite wisdom,
Apprehension has faded,

My life begins to slowly wane,
The velvety darkness approaches,
It’s speed exuberant;
Clouds begin to cover the light,
The sliver of light disappears,

Again, I am in darkness,
Again, I await another new moon to rise.
