Under a Fingernail Moon
A pregnant lunar display, plugged into
the sky.
This is not for me.
I exist under a fingernail moon, casting
less of a glow.
Providing scant beams, if any.
I prefer the thin, silver rim that
pleasantly dips south-east.
It does not pierce the clouds, but gently
hovers above them.
It leaves us below to find our own way.
It causes us to forge our own light, so that
we may
discover the path within the eclipse of our
destinies.
