My Moon

Where have you gone, my moon? Fallen into the orbit of another. Your reflected light I crave. Staring into the darkness for you. I know you are there. I feel you pulling on my tides. Hiding yourself in shadow, away from my gaze. A crescent glimpse, then gone again. Months no longer end. Night has forgotten day. My birds are lost without you. If only you would shine again. I would hold you in my core. Shield you from cold space. Let you soar with the Sun. Always knowing closeness. Entwined in our celestial dance.
