LEFTOVER MOON

Leftover moon
from yesterday's night,
we glimpse your soft lines
in this new day's light

Remembering how
you gave such delight,
till the rising red sun
erased you from sight

If wishes came true
we'd wish that you might,
return to the magic
you had at midnight

Now you're just an ring
an outline in white,
lost in the sky
from yesterday's night.
