Moon Day Sun

So seldom does she sit alone by day Gently smiling amid the fawning blue Had she just grinned and slyly walked away Without the starry quilt the heavens threw To cast a shadow long o’er rolling hills Enjoy the shining warmth upon her arc Rejoice in dance with roiling frothy surf Bask in the moments unknown after dark And yet she feels the sting of cheater’s angst That moment when she knows she must return Accentuate the diamonds siren call to reignite the embers that still burn Though she is cloaked beneath a million lights Old lovers bring sweet joy into her nights John G.
