Moonlight

The sun left this evening

in her fiery golden gown,

shimmering and bold,

and as she swept off with a flourish,

she tossed her light to you.

You were quietly waiting

In the wings, in a pale elegance.

You smoothly caught the light

And as you rose, you became

Brighter and more vibrant with

Your borrowed light.

In an intricate dance of light

And reflection, you two

Give and take in a beautiful

Symphony.

Her fire, your cool, forever linked

Together in a velvet sky.

I walked by this empty room and

The beauty of you casting the

Sun’s light through the window

Was captivating, romantic.

You are an example of how one needs not

Their own light, and indeed how the

power of reflecting another’s light can

Brighten the darkest corners.

I can’t help but reflect on the beauty and

Awe that is you, as you reflect the sun’s

Fiery light from the other side of the

World.

The magnificence of moonlight.
