my constant companion
\nhe is every shape
\nnew to full
\nwaxing and waning
\na brilliant white
\nrarely
\na vibrant red suit
\n“Goodnight, Moon.”<\/p>\n
no photos, please
\nhis good side is ethereal
\nand cameras can’t feel
\n“I love you to the moon and back.”<\/p>\n
baby blue days
\nvelvet black nights
\nbordered by puffy clouds
\nmirroring distant stars
\n“When the moon fell in love with the sun, all was golden in the sky”<\/p>\n
never lonely
\nnever lost
\nstrength to command seas
\ngentle glow, never glaring
\n“Hey, Moon, please forget to fall down.”<\/p>\n
