Different Sky..

Waiting for the full moon to glow
    the cold light orb has not grown larger
the last time was eighteen years ago
     i wait to have it shine on me
as i'm starting a new history
     another play, another way for me...

Where were you before, where are you today?
     What did you explore before today?
Where were you before, where are you today
      where were you before, before today?

A change in sky, the question why
    why do some things change
and why do others remain the same?
     Perhaps what changes is what must
or the cost would be too great
     so change what must before it's too late...

Where were you before, where are you today?
     What did you explore before today?
Where were you before, where are you today
      where were you before, before today?

Waiting for the full moon to glow
     that hasn't changed in me, you know
i have watched for many years...
    But tonight a different man
is standing still like he began
    and he sees through different eyes...

Where were you before, where are you today?
     What did you explore before today?
Where were you before, where are you today
      where were you before, before today?

  1. Hopefull or Hopeless?

    Can be either, both

  2. perhaps looking at hopefull from the sunny side of hopeless - disappointment may lead to temporary hopelessness but keeping hopefull in the face of such is still the best way...yesterday's hopelessness is transformed to today's hopefullness...
    thanks for the comment ME, makes me reread my own words and think as i do not when i am writing... Literary paradigm?
