The Moon Speaks to Me

Through shuttered windows

I can glimpse her beauty

She’s surrounded by a haze of light

The grace she expresses glows

We all wonder at her strength

To hold herself up

Alone

Every night

Just for us

Watching over us

Silently sleeping in her wake.

These late night conversations are brief

But I whisper to her

Secret sentences

She’s longed to hear

Since the beginning of time.

“You are appreciated, even in our slumber.

Thank you for letting us rest.”

And through the shutters

She smiles.

A Glance at the Stars

A glance at the stars in the

Middle of the city,

And the sky is shining brighter

Than I remember-

I suddenly feel so small.

________________________

A glance at the stars while we

Play outside at night;

Nothing to guide us home

Except their light,

Feeling protected in their presence.

________________________

A glance at the stars on the

Night we met

Their grace instilling hope.

I smile up at the sky,

Knowing they’re smiling back.

________________________

A glance at the stars with a

Heavy heart and the ghosts of tears

On my face. I can’t see you

But I feel you, wherever you are,

Comforting me like you always have.

Smile

Lips parted
Giving way to
Perfected pearly whites
And spewing sarcasm
Mixed with honesty.
The upturned corners
Of your mouth
Show me the truth
Behind your emotions-
In this case
Good.
A mixture of
Happiness
Relief
Excitement
Contentedness
On your face for display
For all to see
And to cherish.
