When you came into life, my life, the full moon rose
At height of day. No, not a quarter moon
Or crescent moon, this full moon shed mixed glows
On earthly trees and flowers. This brilliant noon
Was filled with not just sunlight’s gold but moon’s
Most gracious virgin vernal beams, the light
Of fullest moon untouched by craters. Moons
Unslammed by space’s trash, the moons in flight
From darkness of the night, these moons above
The scarring earth’s own moon has known, new spheres
Of orbal, brightest light, these moons of love
Became the sun and moon combined sans tears.
This one full moon, this one full noontime sun,
Aligned, became the realm of love twice spun.
