She always followed me home

The further we drove

the same distance she appeared

 

They say

she’s a reflection of the sun

I say

her light is self-sufficient

 

Her purpose is to remind us that even in darkness

there is light

Even when she is reNewing herself

Hiding away from Earth

She is still there

Her fullness never waivers

Like a mother’s loyalty

Following us home

 

She slowly comes back to us

always

Waning

Waxing

Reflecting

 

Watching over those who lay awake at night

As is it holds the secrets, those who sleep never get the chance to hear

her fullness

reminds me

of my fullness

that even in darkness

I  am  light.
