Cradle of the Moon
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
I search the night sky
For the once lambent oyster
Of pearls as white as day.

I despair over the loss,
Ineffable grief etched in the crescent moon above,
The one that stole my smile. I croon tender love songs

With the errant moon in the circle of my arms,
Willing the return of the prodigal child.
