Luna

Oh, Luna!

In your splendorous reflection is she.

Out on a starlit night.

Dazzling argentum against azure velvet.

And so the hours pass,

Clinking of glasses and tinkle of laughter.

Caresses and kisses.

Like you and the passing clouds.

But as you dip, oh Luna,

My heart sinks.

For it is time to let go the clasp and bid adieu.

And in the faint vestigial glow,

Drive off alone, with the memory

Of another nighttime meeting.

Still, the dawning of a new day calms my fears

And secures my mind,

That she, like you, oh Luna,

Will return, come nightfall.
