Forever Moon Skies

I'd stare at the moon
All day.
All night.

Once with Love
Once with the memory
Of Love.

Without thought I'd feast
On moonlight and the memory
Of moonlight.

The Spirit of the Moon
The Goddess Selene
And I

On the hillside in neglect
Of what others want
Of me.

What each night sky knows
Each sunrise lacks.

That Star.

That bully star!
Always

On the way,
(in the way)
Of
A perfect night sky.

Is there a galaxy anywhere
Untouched by starlight

Where poets sit on hillsides
In communion with forever moon skies

Unencumbered by the gravity
Of a ravenous star?
