A Moon

There hangs the moon

you see it before I do

pointing past branches

of the tree you see through

“A moon! A moon!”

and I see it to

through new eyes

tenderly watching you.

Simeon, I see the moon

but it is the moon I see through

to lovingly gaze at you.

“There are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is of one kind, and the glory of the earthly is of another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.” (1 Corinthians 15:40-41, ESV).
