Long awaited smiling moon
Through dark nights
I have missed you
Surely my love is gazing 
Upon you while wondering 
When this phase ends
Before another one pulls
At my heart threads
All the tender places
Ache and burn 
Stern hands bring no ease
While night flits lightly
Across her face in golden
Flames licking at window
I feel closer to her
Looking at moon, alone
Singing song from childhood 
Words revive from
Somewhere out there
