Crescent ~
from eastern deeps you have set sail
on a voyage transcending these shores so pale
a vessel you are bound upon fair winds
to ferry thought to higher things
O' lovely maiden thrice lucent and fair
as you rise serenely on the air
how your beauty illuminates dusk
to herald dreams as dream we must
to roam the oceans of night's expanse
while you lead on as brightly as any lamp
bold sickle moon! how your light
beckons our fancy to take flight!
on the soaring wings of departing day
you gently possess contemplation's play
to embrace the musings of numberless stars
whose astral twinklings coax us far
far beyond barren fields of worldly wit
where mysteries revealed on your timeless writ
call to the slumbering souls of all
awakening them from their mortal fall
from the brilliance that was the spirit of dawn
before they were lost and became forlorn
myopic in darkness until their hearts
rediscover once more that heavenly spark
that turns the gaze eagerly away from earth
in order to claim their final birth
as wonder children of that eternal sun
where the day is ever only just begun...
