The Moon Has Dimmed

This winter’s eve, so clear, so bright That crispness felt when out this night The sky’s alive, with lights above Symbols of hope symbols of love The greatest light therein the scene That’s looked upon by king and queen Is that which makes the nighttime view But when I saw the moon… I thought of you For radiance is not the light above It’s of the heart, defined as love It’s personified grace You so you possess That makes me feel That I am blessed Each night as when the moon’s in view I’ll look again … see only you
