the moon

He dreamed of her on nights which he spent beneath the moon.

Streaming through the window panes; his heart and brain alive with thoughts

they would not stop for fear of losing their luster.

He wanted the image of her to shine; but not because she was beautiful.

He wanted her to shine like the moon off the glass

because it hinted at the light he found inside of her;

in her words and in her kiss, in the simple things she did.

Oh how he missed her, when he dreamed of her at night.
