Moon Glow

Not knowing I was watching  
You removed the cares of the world  
A weight you would bare  
Shown in every fiber and sinew of you  
 
You wailed into still waters  
To reset and release  
 
No, you do not need permission  
To leave all formality behind  
 
Completely lost and submerged  
Awakened and revitalized  
You re-emerged, finally free  
The moon is pleased as it  
Gently embraces you with its glow  
 
You were made man  
Shaped, tempered and released  
In the essence of duality  
 
Those who confront without justification  
Are hard yet soft to the core  
I am the only one to see a side of you  
A side no other will be privileged to  
 
Come to me, show me  

Then, as if the spell had been broken...  
The weight of reality softened the glow
