i cradled Moon's
face
in my wood-carved gnarled fingers,
and asked Her
to please stay
to spill light on every flower
to unveil a traveler's path
to guide sallow stars, weary from
Nothing and Everything

at least until
Sun dragged her down
to languish in opaque
crevices, in

No need to be hesitant. Seems like you're a natural. Imagery here is lovely.
