Lunar Eclipse

Barely a sliver,
I crave no backdrop.
She hides away again.
She sinks
In the depths of space
Like old dreams
Or lost hopes
In moments of bated breath
Only to emerge

Breaking

Into a luminous smile.
Barely a sliver enlightened 
And growing,
As if no hope has left.
As if our our dreams 
Could never drown 
Or die halfway,
Before we sleep.
Or before we wake.
