The moon is my companion that circles and 
visits at regular intervals. Its own cosmic journey 
reflected toward mine. It’s a dance of give and take. 
It’s the silent watch of a devoted partner 
always on my side with a bright smiling face.
 
There are shadows and crevices worn with age and experience 
but reliable a friend as any 
lighting a path in the dark 
reminding me I am never alone.
 
I send up my own hello and smile. 
I know the wild nature of life is never this precise, 
predictable and reliable as the moon
