Ballad of the Moon
The moon's forbidden love affair
A silver ribbon unfurls from the moon.
A gift for her lover singing in the lagoon
Notes of adoration, his love expresses
His heart, she eternally possesses
Passion erupting, love flowing free
From the heavens to the seven seas
The distance mounted between
The lover and his heart’s queen
Illuminated by his faraway devotion
As he stays among the waves of the ocean
The galaxy can not contain the flames of her desire
This gorgeous romance could set the universe on fire
Her sacrifice, a secret, a hidden dream
Delicate but mighty, as her silver gleam
He stays among the waves, watching her nightly
Melancholy but content, for she shines brightly
A gleaming silver disc, adoring him from the stars
Calling out, do you feel this forbidden love of ours?
The moon and her lover, a fantastic story untold
Loving from afar to save the young and the old

And the Sun Came Up Tremendous
In memory of the 12 girls who were among the first victims of the atomic age. The screen on Mara's smartphone screamed beams of blue light into her eyes as she doom scrolled through social media. It was 4:13am, and she was still laying on her side in her bed unable to let go of the news headlines whipping past.
