ADVENT II

Day is cloak for night is cloak for day,
each the guardian of the other’s light,
sheltering the visions, the stories, the hope
 that come of moon and sun being one, twice
on each day’s journey
when encountering the other
at the edge of sight
and the timbre of their laughter,
the blending of their burdens,
bloom into colours a sigh cannot describe.
