THE MOON AND HER SUN

Is the moon naive to wait on her sun?
Teased by glimpses at each dawn.
His rays pierce the solitude of night,
Blinding Orion as he's pushed out of sight.

Or, perhaps, gravity prevails,
The magnetizing force from which she cannot pale.
A silver glow paints her grazed lips,
A white flag flying for their coming eclipse.
