She walked beneath the moon
As lone dogs with timbered bark
Longed for owners return
This, she understands well
The ache of an empty place
Physical or within the folds
Of a secret origami heart
That desire without perfect description
If it would cry out
O moon, let not
One more hour pass
Without feeling the tenderness
Of returning love
And the dogs, small, large, mutt and pedigree
Bay to silver sliver in autumn sky
May hap wishes are stones skimmed
Catching light, as shooting star
Or nothing more
Than harth and home
For wherever you are
That is my destination
I may stand beneath the wide sky alone
Yet it is you I see, with you I belong
