Once in a Blue While Moon

Once in a blue while moon
an uphill climb becomes a downhill swingsong
(The sage says: “Surrender”)

Once every few so often days
a remembrance of thankfulness intrudes
(The falling leaves whisper: “Peace”)

Once is a never upon enough time
some late ember caresses the air
(The fire-starved ground sings: “Freedom”)

Once it’s twice over or removed
sad longings twist into pasta shells
(The watery grave gurgles: “Enough”)

Once I before do you die
to just simply get the words right
(The old refrigerator hums: “Patience”)
