Moon shrinks
            and I, mere earthbound reflection,
            give way to its waning.

Love grows
            for that once-in-a-blue-moon way
            you lent your light to me.

Dreams die;
            memory of fullness lives on,
            an eternal promise

Of life.
            You may wax philosophical,
            say we are night and day.

Now, see –
            our energies combine, build up,
            wind down and re-engage.

I shrink,
            disappear for days, then shine bright
            in velvet sky. At home

with stars,
            I bask in your mirrored rays
            in this wide universe.
