A new moon on the horizon

like the passing of a tide,

I do not understand

the passage of time -

What it means

or should it mean

anything at all?

A new cycle is churning

like the coming of the hordes

taking lives and giving life,

I do not see

the beginning or the end -

Are they coming for me

or am I missing

some finer point?

Phantoms coming,

taking, invading

this passage of my life.

Life's coming soon...
