the sun & moon
December 27, 2007
i want to be one
of the sun & moon:
marriage of the cosmos
no one sees them kiss;
they each shine
separate
unto a cherished world.
my dazzling rays
other lovers found
blinding
my life-giving power
some coveted & held
against me
unreflected,
unrecognized,
i have spent these years
in silence.
in solitude.
i accused the sky
of withholding
the name of the one
i would love best;
since that song was revealed at last
under spheres of moonlight
i have held those syllables
so near my breast,
i have spoken of the moon
only in whispers.
i have kept the flames
of my haste
contained.
i have not breathed
his name
in vain;
since i have seen his face
i have stopped seeking
my destiny; knowing that if
it isn’t he
my destiny will find me
as easily
since i saw his face
i have stopped seeking
my destiny
knowing that she
has found me
returns my rays
in smoky rings
rules the night
while the day is mine
