We Wait

We wait for it to come each month,

to show its full face,

to our own,

the one deep inside us,

the darker earth

only the moon

knows how to see,

the eyes

only the moon

can pry open

and shine through,

and gently close again,

healing the path it treads

as it falls away

And we wait for it to come again.

Our bodies follow the moon,

the way it seems

the three wise men followed the north star,

trusting a thing so far,

the way they trusted their dreams.

the way the gypsies

in their endless climb

rely on the sky to tell their time.
