its rising casts light on dreams of the future
its journey through night will bring tomorrow anew
let moon carry forward our dreams and our courage
its rising casts light on dreams of the future
but that future may prove to be in great peril
if restraint and balance continue abandoned
its journey through night will bring tomorrow anew
but will that tomorrow dawn on new hope
if humans fail to finally embrace equilibrium
let moon carry forward our dreams and our courage
let it also cast sterling our strength to strive harder
our journey through night must lead us to balance

METAPHOR ALERT
Moon = meditative introspection / prayer
Night = human struggle/mistakes
We could do worse than to follow the moon’s lead.
I am personally a certified lunaphile Kerfe. In this particular piece the moon represents meditative introspection or prayer.
A cautionary Trimeric …. love it, Rob.
Thank you Helen… 🙂
A trimeric filled with hope and courage for the journeys ahead.
Have a good weekend.
Thank you Grace! 🙂
Rob,
This is simply beautiful, filled with hope amidst darkness, with the moon as the symbol of that hope, that light to guide us through. I love the confident expectation of the last stanza. The perfect closing.

Thank you Dora, very much! 🙂
Very beautiful. We need to follow the moon’s lead and hope it’s a better path than the one we’re currently on.
Thank you! Almost anything would be a better path Lucy.
A warning written beautifully.
Thank you Marion!
Each cycle of the moon takes us closer to the future, let us hope we can make it better.
Let’s hope we can finally make the effort Bjorn…!
I couldn’t agree more, Rob!
‘but that future may prove to be in great peril
if restraint and balance continue abandoned’
What will it take for us to get back in balance with nature?
Not certain we are able to Ingrid, or not enough care to?
Love this especially; “let moon carry forward our dreams and our courage.” Gorgeous write! ????????
Thank you very much Sanaa… 🙂
