Good things come to those who wait.

*******************************************************

Stars above glow bright,

But clouds mask their brilliant hues--

Darkness steals the light.

*******************************************************

But, the moon still winks,

And she grins, "Not today..

But there's still time yet."

    Oh, that fickle moon. Blocking our view of the stars, just to show off.

    We meet Lady Luna in the cosmic waiting room, don't we? She's our first comfort in the darkness of night. But if we wait, and the clouds shift, she reveals wonders! Well-wrought!

  • Awww, that was sweet. Loved your poem!
