It was a fairground attraction
A spectacularly lit, immense big wheel
He was not convinced; could it be a new
Regenerative East Coast sculpture
A beacon across the North sea
Illumination for our European neighbours
He drove on confused, until the penny dropped
It was a slowly rising moon
A vast globe of reds and oranges
A fascinating image that got him rushing
To the nearest vantage point
Yet, just as with that unfulfilling full eclipse of the sun
Witnessed on the Dartmoor outfall rock
A few solitary years ago
Tonight’s transitory light also failed to hold its glow
He was in love back then
He is in love again now
He also cares to believe more of love
Than in the intermittent shadows of sun on moon
