New moon

There’s a new moon out tonight
and it’s the darkest night of the year
You can hear children crawling beneath their beds
and clutching their sheets in fear
while murmuring their prayers and hitting their lights
as they wait for the sun to appear
There’s a new moon out tonight
and it’s the coldest night I’ve seen
Lovers lay close by fires burning bright
slowly breathing in the soothing scene
as they smell the smoke from a thousand chimneys
and watch as they give the air a hint of filthy green
There’s a new moon out tonight
and it’s the quietest ever heard
No cars nor boots traverse the streets
as the night forever remains unstirred
with its perfect stillness only broken
by the silent flapping of shadowy birds
There’s a new moon out tonight
and I can feel it call my name
Though it sits still and cold
it whispers all the same
calling me to walk the empty streets
perhaps to join her in a game
So though there’s a new moon out tonight
it rests alone no more
It has me by its side
to share the things the night has in store
and it’s there I’ll walk in the chilling air
until my moon sinks below the floor
only to rise again another night
to call me out my door

| This poem was very interesting it’s almost like each stanza brings on a deferent emotion from fear in the 1st to love in the 2nd then piece in the 3rd then it inspires in the 4th and last but not least the 5th almost speaks of dreams come true and adventure. Maybe I got it all wrong but that’s what it portrayed to me so many different stagges of life. Thanks for the good read take care….Steve |

This has got to be the best one I have read of yours to date. Reminds me of another writer I used to know. Excellent Job!
