Shuffling Stars

At the foot of the path of future

In a time when desires were imprisoned by my objectives

Unawareness clouded my every step

But my intentions moved towards the heavens

And the key to my mind’s cell appeared

For the moon rose above, white with a pale brilliance

With only an inch covered by necessities

But this eclipse did little to collapse this moment

And as I questioned why I deserved this reward

My feet reminded me of their existence

By testing my very balance on this Earth

And as I corrected their mistake

My eyes drew away too quickly

For when I returned my attention to the heavens

I admit, for my own fault in temptation

For better or for worse

It had disappeared behind shuffling stars

Leaving me in my spotlight of conscience.

I've tasted its bittersweets and should be content

And in a way, I have gotten my fill

No more do I need, no less I should accept

The memories are there coupled in my thankfulness

And this is all I need.
