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.
