THE MOON WATCHES IN A FATHERLY SOBRIETY



I tripped and slipped along this slippery voyage

But I held on to myself and not letting go

I staggered and stumbled along this rugged way

But I held on to myself and refused to let go

So doth life battered my way on this battered highway

Yet I held on to myself and don’t let go



I cleaved and strives thus far, but farther I still had to go

Yet I held on to myself, and don’t had to let go

When the heat pummeled up my soul savagely

And strings seemed to pull me into an eerie abyss

I dared them all and held on, refusing to let go

I could feel a refreshing break as all my tethers snapped



Then from the shadows of the gathering storms

I heard the lyrics in my soul whispering

And my voice gave rise to this soul reviving

Melody ever composed by a despairing throng

On the awesomeness of the universal elements

In an everlasting display of timelessness



¶“When the sun is shining; bright and fair upon time

And the clouds sail across the silvery sky

Chasing after an invisible foe in a mockery duel

While the stars are sparkling in a sightless night

And the moon watches in a fatherly sobriety

Then I knew that life is just one big game played”¶



What a lively tune that graced my soul

Uplifting my soul from a whirling drift

All things I’ve ever craved for were transient

They wear off on the scale of time and space

I’d reach into my soul once more for the rendition

Of that melody ever so composed by a despairing throng



¶“When the sun is shining; bright and fair upon time

And the clouds sail across the silvery sky

Chasing after an invisible foe in a mockery duel

While the stars are sparkling in a sightless night

And the moon watches in a fatherly sobriety

Then I knew that life is just one big game played”¶
