Prosperity

Prosperity in the haze tonight
the softened edges of the sky
not even allowing the breath
of a harsh word to tear the
scope

The summation of the moon
that it is New and will be
climbing again to Full is made
with peace and the changing of
hands with sunlight

Purple martins are chasing their
dinner through the air with the
surety of darts tossed upward
by the final child making his
way home to dinner

Something is calling tonight
but we are all too lazy
to listen

better to watch the night come on
and then just slip to sleep.
