Today is your day
and for a few moments
you will take center stage
and he will face into
your shadow, you
will be all we can see,
he struggling to peek out
unaccustomed to a lesser role.
So often you shied away
from his glare, as if he
would consume you,
how you would often flee
his approach, returning
only after he had departed.
But it was always
your face we wanted
to see, you with a beauty
he could not match,
the distinction so great
we dare not look at him.
Of course your moment
will quickly pass, but know,
dear Luna, we welcome you
always even as we shun
his too brilliant face.
