We wait for the Moon
because we always have
and we want to see it again.
It is worth the wait

We wait without expectation.
We have conditioned ourselves.
It is a cycle that will continue
to guide our lives.

We wait for the Moon
to be whole and beautiful
because, now, we are not.
We need something tangible.

We will always wait knowing
we might not see it, but truly
believing it is right there in
both darkness and light.
