Friday 55-Celestial Romance

 Old man Moon
kept watch over
the lovely Venus
as she roamed
the universe.

He waited 
for her,
broke into a grin
when she wandered
close enough.

She brightened
when she saw him,
lingered a bit,
settled in close
to share secrets in the dark.

Together 
they winked knowingly
at Earthbound souls
who spied them.

It was an earlier night this week when I saw the conjunction and grinned.

  9. "He broke into a grin and she brightened..." - the words are so appropriate Michelle. An excellent little poem - Dave

  10. Lovely. Haven't seen the moon clearly for months -the same cloud cover that continues to hide the sun just sits there.
