I do not yearn
To capture the sun
The heat of the light
Burns away my thoughts

But I long
To harness the moon
And draw her
Milk-white coolness
Down with me into my dreams

I stare by the light
Of a single candle
Letting that light
Wend its way
Through the hollow spaces
Inside

Casting out
All the shadows
And creating a glow

To shine through ~ Caroline A. Slee
