Sister of the Moon
by David N. Muxo


The sounds of night surround her
as she walks; the whisper of her flowing
hair blends with the creature sounds.
Pale moonglow lights her way, falls
upon her upturned face, touches her body
forming gleaming shadows, shifting shapes.
She is the mirrored moon, a silver spirit
who walks the night in silence.
I hear her calling in my heart of hearts,
My soul of souls responds to the rhythm
of her breath, to the beating of her heart.
I feel a pulse below my conscious world,
a calling sense which draws me deeper
into dreams,
enticing me to lose myself.

Already I am lost. The moonlight fills me
as I listen to that silent voice.
I will walk the mountains of
the moon, my footfalls echoing hers precisely.
I will be sister of the moon.
