Darkness fell, the light was gone
Twinkle from the lights of stars
was all that lit my way
Then, unannounced, a deep harvest glow
Slowly it crept through the branches of trees
a circle of light
Bright
It was smiling at me
A strange detached smile
Its brightness grew
its light whiter
Slowly it traced the path of the sun
as if to chase and
make it run
A small cloud nibbled at its edge
then slowly floated across
the circle of light did not seem to mind
it continued to soar
till directly above
I laid down
smiled
and followed it all the while
it sank
quickly
it was now being chased
by the rising sun
So I must say farewell too soon
to the now departing moon
It will return
And maybe one night
Nestled in my arms
I'll share it with Qi
And all will be right
