Half Moon

There is a half moon
visible in the sky this morning
sharing the space with her brother the sun
stepping out of the shadows
and onto the dance floor
for a quick morning twirl
depriving half the world of light
just so she can enjoy some of her own
drinking it down
dancing with delight
daring to
move slowly and steadily towards a darkened outcome
for such is her fate
to toil away at her chores
but for a moment, this morning
she dances
