Predicament of the Moon

48 1 1
                                    

Slick golden smile

Gleaming true

Just barely hidden

By navy, wispy clouds.

The curly locks of mother earth

Race by in morning's rush.

The golden smile has no choice

But to pass along through the ages,

Each soak in darkness never sufficent, for always

Is the sun's envious blaze,

Leaving the golden smile

To frown.
