“The Light of Your Heart”

The night is beautiful,
like your smile.
Yet even its darkness
cannot rival the light of your heart.

Tonight is silent
because you are not here.
The shadows grow bolder
in the distance of your love.

Come near.
Draw closer.
So you and I may share
the joy of the moon tonight.

Come nearer, not in body

but in becoming.

Let our silence touch,

so the moon may confess

what it has been hiding

from the world.

*As I was doing my nightly jogging/walk tonight, I was starring at the beautiful moon and the stillness of the waters, I stopped and took a deep breath and wrote the words of this poem.
