where there

are beginnings

that meet endings

where i am

when you can’t

change things

that is where

you will find me

in the middle

 

 

why do night and day

engage in an eternal war 

for the stars to beam

and the sun shine

every dusk

and every dawn

where night meets day

and day meets night

blood is shed

blackened skies

which owls roam

where secrets are left

well enough alone

blue bell skies

where honesty is welcome

and robins sing loud and true

life begins in the morning

continues on through the night

a golden globe older but none the wiser

sits in place watching the children

protecting loving mothering

the stars still young dance

they dance the night away

every dusk and every dawn

do mother and daughter

shake the earth

through clanging swords

and battle cries

both to deafened

to turn their attention 

to the mourners passing by
