phases like the moon
i love you in the morning
when the moon is still showing up
in the brightening sky
i love you in the sunset
when the moon sometimes
makes an early appearance
i love you in the dead of night
when the moon is high above
i love you in the darkness
when the moon is new
i love you even when we can’t see her
when the moon is asleep and the sun
takes her place
i love you despite the phase
like the moon, you too go through phases
one day you are this
the next, that
i love you still, through it all
i hope you love me too
through the phases
like the moon

Luminescent beauty glows in this admirable poem. Heartfelt and authentic, it speaks to personal experience. The repetition of : “i love you” highlights passage “through the phases/like the moon.” Such a poignant closing. Well done, Sylvia
