even though

and lo, it appears the sun is waning, dimming twilight 

prematurely

and the eyes of the moon 

laboriously awaking

yet even from the hilltop is there a lullaby

fervent is its hush to the moon

coaxing it to nestle 

in heaven’s starry cloud-loft 

but with stretching yawn and lip smacks

it replies, “I awake… even though”

persuading the sun…

reschedule your departure!

consult a horologist!

with ever grounding, growing twilight

it replies, “I repair... even though”

where upon the infinite gaze of love into the future

it is to notice

no moment is parted from in haste

that love and death and life and hate

ever ebb in their eternal flow

when touch is softening on our flowers

there is careless trampling nearing

and the lullaby knows no secret

yet it hums sweetly 

even though

the final stanza is what poetry is all for X; to be defiant and bold when the hum of life is
deafening....

You are so good here....dana

Beautiful imagery. Your writing flows very nicely and it is effortless to leave (and very enjoyable). The concept of this is unique yet relatable, and your details make it exceptional. Keep writing!

Boy Silver you amaze in a lullaby way. I feel like a babe swaying in the arms of the worded magician.
