Silver stars and moon

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
