Moonrise
Sunset upon me
My brightness now fadeth
Alone with the sea am I
While a cascade of hues dance before me
The glare of day gone
Fadeth all to pastels
To the lightest of blues below me
as doth be mine essence
To the shades of peach
as is her blush
To the hues of lavender and pink
as be her lips
alas!
behold!
between her pastels . . . .
she comes
Aglow with the setting sun
Her face now upon me
Rising to the heavens
to encompass my night
I am never alone with her by my side
Though she is not near
She tells me she is here
Full and beaming upon me
Enlightening my spirit anew
Yet I fear though I bask in her glory
That the light is not meant for I
A shadow of a man
I have thus become
Yet enlightened from the blessing of your light
