Moon Glow

 
This waxing pregnant globe
Hanging suspended in dark space
Alive in cold fire
Reflecting off sleeping windows
Shut tight against the night
Curtained lives.

What pull and tug
This bloated orb
Brings to human life
Can we say, for sure?
Lover's entranced within tides
Of electric passions.
Will they dissipate upon the morn
When reason returns with the light
Of daily rhythms.
When once again we return
From the watch that ends the night.

C.J.T. 5/13/03
