The Moon watched the Sun as he entertained the mountains
Saw how the Sky blushed as he lay himself down
Watched how the Sea she dressed all in scarlet
Sighed at his feet when he arose
The Moon she was hopeless
She ran from the daylight
Ran to the blackness
Hid herself high in the night
Holding tightly the tethers
That keep her from floating out into nowhere
Survives in the still, dreaming of wholeness
Her glow a reflection of that which she lost
She hasn’t until now ever feared the dark
Cries herself the company of a billion stars
She tiptoes back, a sliver of hope
Stands proud on the horizon, she isn’t so alone
Balanced on the tide she plays with the waves
Smiles at the warmth of the Sun on her face
About the Creator
Elsa Michaela | @surfthought
When you hear a song
One that stops you in your tracks
That seems spoken from your own mind
Do you listen and listen again?
Follow its streams until a tide,
Inside you
Rushes to fill in the small hollow parts
…Yeah, me too
