Standing with the cold on her skin
watching the eclipsing moon
He found her
Held her safe and warm
Gazing at the morning sky
Wondering at the universe
The moon hid from the sun
They felt peace and calm
with the joy of now
and optimism of tomorrows
Locked deep in the loving embrace
that steadies as it pursues the new
The world has opened and awaits
as the moon quietly returns.
