her earrings were full moons on a short
chain
shining and sparkling with a mysterious
platinum light
that playfully pranced through the
yearning dark of the bar
crystallized raindrops dangled from her
twin moons
keepsakes from a time love came pouring
down
transformed into glittering stars in a
pale night sky
and she, illuminated by a light she
pretended wasn't her own,
embodied the gentle power of the tide
with every sway
becoming the waves that overflow onto a
patient shore.
