Moon Cycle

The moon is clear in today’s morning sky
A daytime hello, a nighttime goodbye
A beautiful sky and a warming sun
We have many hours to get our work done.

With the sun shining down, heating the day
A restful respite is a welcomed delay
And then the trees start to dance in the wind
A hollow sound bellows, a band’s woodwind

The rain hits the ground as a fine gentle mist
It’s stopping our progress, but bringing us bliss
The rain gets stronger, the day marches on
While small puddles form on every front lawn

Wind sowing anger whips right through the trees
Wires swing swiftly, a scary trapeze
Strong branches ripped from long grown trunks
Leaving behind scenes of trees missing chunks

Wind and rain choked, now the weather has cleared
The sun dries the land, heat’s reappeared
Frogs croak in ponds while birds chirp in trees
Crickets chirp loudly, the male’s mating tease

Our shadows cast east, the day is near done
The moon is waiting, to say goodnight sun
As the sun sets and the moon takes its place
We relax, breathe deep, we look up to space

Twinkling stars greet us again today
We trust, as your light, shows us the way
Now, with the moon clear in the evening sky
A nighttime hello and a daytime goodbye
