Ode to the Moon

As darkness blocks your shining light
Your newness in the still of night
You’ll peek out at me soon
Till then oh precious moon

A glisten to my hearts delight
Has peered out at this soul tonight
A waxing crescent blue
I dance within your hue

In luminous first quarter glow
As darkness fades I watch you grow
To waxing gibbous bright
A captivating sight

Now full as ever you can be
This lunar marvel that I see
My longing is complete
This moment bitter sweet

For darkness comes again so swift
To cast upon your precious gift
A waning gibbous creep
Your glow a destined sleep

Last quarter has you half the way
My heart a feeble cry of nay
I know it shall be soon
Till waning crescent tune

One final wink of lunar sight
Before you rest your shining light
Inside the nights cocoon
A new to peek out soon...
till light, sweet precious moon.

I shall not...

I will not cry these tears of heart
for though we are now worlds apart
You illuminate the sky
So no, I will not cry.

You’ve found a place to spread your wings
and though I ache the heaven sings
For my loss is its gain
and its joy is my pain

You’re now atop that crescent moon
where God has set aside your room
Your heart, your soul divine
eternally you shine

Yes though I have to say goodbye
no matter how these eyes may try
I shall not weep, I shall not cry
for blessings know no lie
and Angels never die.
