I remember like it was yesterday
Silent walks with the moon so gray
My bond with the stars would leave
me at peace...
Watching them shower with pavement at feet

Around midnight I would make my way
Past two trees, alongside a fence to the end
of our gate

Step by step I would speculate
On anything I wish or merely my day
My time to consider, my time to dream
All under a sky so lit and serene

Faint buzzing of lamps attached to poles
Such a familiar sound imbedded in my soul
From side to side they offered gentle light
yet left clear view for the starry night

So as all good things must come to an end,
So must my walks and until again…
I shall live my life tomorrow in full concentration,
Ready again to be engrossed in a sky of constellations!


As with all my poems, I write about things which I have experienced or know...I feel this is a good one, but I am not sure of the last stanza. My other stanzas sound past tense, but the last is more present...Is this so big of a deal where I might want to consider a new last stanza? Thanks. ZT.
