Pale Moon and Bright Stars

~ Pale moon and bright stars ~

 
  Though I wait for the sun
     it's the moonlight 
  that shines, on silhouettes'
     stealthy steps 'neath my sight

  The sun sleeps late
     in cool northern climes
  and when she deigns to ascend
     she's on borrowed time

  Pale moon and bright stars
     panoply of heaven's host
  her planets and angel-dust
     ~ at night do I toast
