Reflections
In the great shadow of Earth
I turn my face to the moon.
Sun, bless moon.
Moon, bless me.
I bless you.

Did I sneeze?

I get the hierarchy of light going from the sun to the moon to the Earth, but then I don't know the significance of it going from you to me. I could speculate that it's two friends or lovers enjoying the moonlight. Unless the second use of "moon" is direct address and the narrator is speaking to it?

There's an old Jewish folk adage, given to couples in courtship, that the sun "chases" the moon, not because the moon is itself luminescent, but because it reflects the bright rays of its admirer back upon itself.

Sun, bless the Moon.

I'm sure the author would be kind enough to permit us to use such a tasteful pick-up line!
