The Waning moon in Advent
The moon continues its withdrawal
from the night sky, no longer
creating the moon shadows that
allow each of us to overlap
in the darkness
even if we ourselves cannot.
The moon moves ever further
in the sky towards the birth
of a new moon
in complete darkness
and with only the faintest
of crescent light
that must expand
into its fullest potential until
the moon is once again
the brightest light
the sky can offer.
And so will the great promise
be born in darkness and cold
and will grow until we
create shadows
that may overlap
in its light.
