Watching the moon each night
How many moons have I
Romanced
Gazed upon
Danced under
Howled at?
But this moon is different.
For this moon brings the birth
Of my precious child,
Brings to life 9 months
Of dreams
Of devotion
Of love
For a mysterious being in my belly-
As close as possible
Yet still unknown.
Like the moon
I look forward to watching you grow
Take shape
Shine in your luminous grace,
Cherishing all your phases
And seasonal shifts
Along your journey across the sky.
