Waning Gibbous

It's just a phase, you say,

withdrawing, hump faced,

darkening my nights,

leaving me to turn in,

to find my own light.

I, too, can change,

rid out negativity,

throw open windows,

clean, clear and sage

the corners to let go

of fear; knowing

that someday soon,

I'll meet the new you.
