Born of the Moon

~ Born of the Moon ~ 

Some of the greatest loves are born 
while waiting for the dawn to come 
for it is during this time 
the moon awakens from her dreams… 

~ 

Before the first stars ever came out to play 
the moon gazed upon a canvas of indigo 
saw the anticipation of our love 
and painted it into existence 

in her infinite wisdom 
she knew our souls 
that which they yearned for 
and where they belonged 

with a flicker of her brush 
the first two twinkling stars of the night emerged 
and with that, 
the moon brought her dream to light 

she continued, using the ethereal pureness 
of her own celestial palette 
dipping into hope, she drew our hearts 
and colored them in with promise 

though, she also colored outside the lines 
knowing no matter how full she drew our hearts 
they could not contain our love for one another 
ours was destined to envelop the universe 
as they each were always and forever 

then, as the stars grew drowsy, 
she added a final layer to our hearts 
bathing them in the softest blush 
that we would love 
with such exquisite tenderness 
all of the heavens would take notice 

ours is a love 
born of a luminous dream 
and every night 
from the time the stars come out to play 
to the whispered softness of dawn’s first blush 
our love is illuminated across the sky 

as it shall be for eternity 
because the moon ordained it so.
