Poem: La Lune

Luminescent orb
Suspended in an inky-black sky
I’m in awe of your splendor
Simple and yet breathtaking
Where will you be tomorrow?
Peeking through the trees,
Hanging weightless above the water
Shining rays through my window as I welcome sleep.

In the morning, you’ll have faded
Against the backdrop of a new day.
Peering through the curtains
I can still see your outline
As you slowly descend into the west
Biding your time before it’s your turn again
Strong and silent, but beautiful to behold
