The silver stars sit by the merry moon
little lights live by a comfortable circle of balance , something complete
or by that part of a shape standing in a smile
silver and shining in the nighttime
they sit small soft tender
talkative pieces by a moon which is sometimes whole
sometimes incomplete
changes size and shape
because that’s just the way it is at the time
can’t help the way it lives in the world
only one merry moon
living in two different shapes
at different times
cresent or circle
their still the same moon
only one
just never knowing another moon
the stars have their little light
standing in shades of silver or white and still tenderly twinkling
In the night
