Seasons of Light

Seasons of Light
July 2018


He is the sun.
You, the moon...


Two parallel forces--


One pushing from the past,
a warm, constant nudge.
One pulling toward the future,
an ebb and flow of
shifting tides.


One’s blinding clarity,
Lighting decided paths.
The other,
a reflective shadow,
Waiting in the bright of day
to illuminate
the dark night,
Revealing countless
Wishes otherwise concealed.


Warm comfort
giving way to
cool relief,
giving way to rest.

Until, perfect alignment
Eclipses my world,
snuffing out all light.


And now--


You are the sun.
He is my moon…
