Nine months

The days flow by
back and forth
like the never ending
tide

The moon through
its phases
marks time
day by week by month

Each day
the sun rises
seen or unseen
in blue or grey skies

Where Canopus
shines in summer skies
that's where you came
into this world

When Orion rose
in our winter skies
he called on you
and you swam away

Now nine months ago
you left us your music
your laughter
your dance

At the Window on the West
we watched the light fade
where your black shadow
still awaits your return
