Neighbours

earth-1365995_640.jpg

Half, full, or quarter view, one moon shines

Tomorrow, now, then, all endless time

You, me, them, flesh and blood, all life heirs.

.

We have let fear, greed and false beliefs

limit our freedom to stretch our hearts

‘Round the globe to people here and there.

.

Sages say love neighbors as ourselves

while earth’s so constant moon radiates

golden beams showing us how to care.

A response to Jane Dougherty Poetry Challenge #43: Trilune—The ‘trilune’, a new form invented by Jane Dougherty, consists of nine lines, nine syllables each—that’s my quick summary.  For her vision of the form, please visit her site at the above link.
