Moonlight is Reflected Light

Carry on Tuesday #13 ~ We think we know the ones we love ~ The Story of a Marriage ~ Andrew Sean Greer
~

We think we know you
The gentle light in your eyes
We think we are tuned
~
We think we are tuned
The hint of a smiling soul
Minds and hearts are one
~
Beware the unknown
Light means there must be darkness
One needs the other
~
Curtained chinks of light
Walls still have doors and windows
Look in and look out
~
We think we love you
Absolutes are dangerous
Heed lurking questions
~
