Over two hundred moons have I seen
in the night's sky and not one of them
influenced my life like they are now;

Thousands of days have come and gone,
sunrises and sunsets too have appeared,
many of which I simply ignored;

Dreams opened the door to thoughts but
reality shut it back again, shattering the
beveled glass that was so hard to replace;

Time held me close to her bosom,
revealing nothing of her betrayal, turning me
lose after my last doubling of years;

Children's games did not prepare me for
fa future life I would confront while
peers swung me around like June bugs;

Views and attitudes changed, oftentimes when
personalities were locked away in an unwilling
womb like the womb from which I came.
