Clair De Lune Pensif

A pensive moon lets fall the rain 
that calls you to a darkened sill, 
where, apprehensive, you remain, 
held captive in her thrall

until she waxes at the window pane 
to ask intently if you'll still be back
when she's gone past her wane

Beyond the glass, 
you swear you will...
