Wasted hours. {poetry}

I saw you in the moon…
The way your face glowed
Out of the gloom;
I saw you standing
In the trees,
I felt peace.
It was not you,
But something there
That made me stop
… And watch and stare;
The way all light seemed
To shimmer in the leaves.
(How I wish I could have stayed
And married the sun and stars
In the ceremonial hush
Of wasted hours).
Hours passed like days
Between sunrise
And your wanting embrace;
I may have lost
A lot along the way,
I may have only lost those few days.
Yet summer does not end,
Instead she impregnates fields
And all who wend their way
Beneath her dewy heel;
There is no cycle left,
There is only birth, no death.
(How I wish I could have stayed
And married the sun and stars
In the ceremonial hush
Of wasted hours).
