The Portal

80 degrees and rising fast. Peace for a time. Lets make it last. The Portal of light, so minor so bright Maybe just hours. Once a month. Always seems special, always seems right. The nights in the portal, so few so slight. So much gloom, sometimes despair. Optimism of knowing. They made such a pair. The Portal of light, so minor so bright. Maybe just hours, Once for months Always seems special, always seems right. The nights in the portal, so few so slight. The rain never came. The neighbors abstained. They felt as one, they felt the same. The Portal of light, so minor so bright Only those hours, Only that season Always seems special, always seems right. The nights in the portal, so few so slight. The moon can be faceless. The moon can be new. Times were good, times were best. In the Portal of light, so minor so bright. Only these times, Who knows the reasons. Always seems special, always seems right. The nights in the portal, so short, so right.
