Sophia – The Moon, Sun, and Stars

The Moon in all its glory shines its reflected light down

On we the greedy animals below on Earth, and the plants

And the soil — All searching for some kind of love, one of many

Forms — Beauty enough for me to temporarily escape the past

All the longing and desire from my youth — Still here, still there

Reflected in the passions of all life under the Moon, Sun, Stars

Light at night offers some relief from sadness and despair and loneliness

Occasionally we can see the Moon even during the day, a constant guardian

And guide on our path towards enlightenment, fulfillment, happiness

Change and growth and discovery and affection from a beautiful person

So too the Sun’s warmth and light reassures us that night and rest and possibility

For new love is always right around the corner — Even when the Sun takes away

All illusions, no matter how ennobling — We can become whole yet again

Discover love inside us — There is always possibility for positive change

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, please know I love you

For better or worse, right or wrong, black or white — I will be waiting

For the day or night you come to see me again — Until then I will wait

Looking at the Moon and the stars, and the Sun with eyes closed during the day

I will feel the wind through the trees and the rain, and I will try to be happy

Or at least content — Memories keep me company, but they are no substitute

For you being here in the present moment — But they will do for now
