The moon and I

 

Did you know

that the moon reflects my moods?

It vanishes from the night sky when I retreat into my shell

and peeps out a little the following night

When I tread out lightly to test the waters.

 

Some nights

When I’m consumed by your thoughts,

heady with your desire,

I glow with the full moon in my window.

 

And on nights when I just want to

quietly soak in your presence,

Without the ripple of words disturbing us,

The moon is half full in the night sky.

 

The moon and I

are in perfect sync -

only the undulating tides of the ocean

know this secret.
