New Moon Marley Carrillo As darkness falls fast, mist clears with soft grace, Past departs to witness the birth of dreams, As the idle clouds drift without a trace, Make not a sound to disturb moon’s shy beams, While Death tends to night with quiet remorse; Taking away time of those still astray, As he steals glances from people with force, And the stars blink their sleepy eyes away, Their sweet lullaby, humming in my ear, Eyes mirror my reflection with a stare, But so I feel the ending drawing near As kind Selene holds my dear face with care, My lost thoughts buried in a tangled sea, As the wind whispers its secrets to me. 13
