Listen to poem:

Observing the Moon In Daylight

Observing the Moon in Daylight
David J Walker

Is it stealing a bit of the spotlight or
Borrowing stray sun rays in the afternoon
The 4th quarter moon quietly treks a 
Girandole path across the 3 pm western horizon

Devoid of its 
by chance romance rendezvous 
Of lovers who wait to hide 
In the aftermath of a neap tide 

That rides on its own
Well into the dark of night 
When the only light 
is from far away stars

Still
She waits for the white moon
	The full moon
Caring not one thing 
about  love
In the afternoon

I've always thought of the moon as a female, desperately in love with the sun. There are times when she yearns to cross his path in morning light, so she lingers a while longer to catch a glimpse him.
