Searchlight Moon,
Reveal for me;
I’m under this
Obscuring tree
I woke abrupt
Because the glare
(Your light’s not just
From anywhere)
I’d hoped you’d reach me
On this night,
To guide me through
Where I lack sight
My doubts arrested
Further sleep,
So to the garden
I did creep
And in the garden
Well below,
I drank your
Alabaster glow
At first my gaze
Was on the ground;
The threatening shadows
All around
But boldened by
The backlit scene
I sought the tree
Where I could lean
And stare at you,
Unlike the sun
(Though you both share
The light, as one)
I sense, tonight,
It’s not just me;
She swings her eyes
Above to see
If any more
Is evident
In moonbeam’s sprite-light -
Heaven-sent
Our voices, eyes,
And thoughts don’t touch;
But you, our moon,
Will do as much.
Searchlight Moon,
Entwine our trust;
Reveal that light
Can shine from dust.
