Where are you tonight <br />this first glimpse of <br />spring? The night all <br />balmy, the moon full- <br /> <br />Jupiter sparking up <br />beside it, a cloudless <br />sky ablaze, bathed <br />in its glow; <br /> <br />the air, sweet scented <br />and light, sponge- cake <br />and springy, I want <br />to walk to the water <br /> <br />to wake the swans, <br />take to the swings; <br />to growl, to howl-for you to <br />slither into me; <br /> <br />but it is late <br />or early in the morning, <br />and no longer safe <br />to roam alone <br /> <br />and you are somewhere <br />between tomorrow and <br />yesterday; as far away as <br />moonbeams.<br /><br />Theresa Daly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/moonbeams-4/
