The Troubled Heart and the Moon

The moon gazes down upon her

Observing her deep silence

Not seeing a thing beyond her

A soul in need of guidance.

She lifts her head and gazes back

Caressed by a stroke of pale light

“How did it all go so off track?”

She whispers out into the night.

“You’re right where you’re supposed to be,”

says the moon, “Do not doubt or fear,

Come any time and sit with me,

Take comfort, I am always here.”

Wrapped in the moon’s weightless embrace

She lets her worries drift away,

Calmly wipes the tears from her face,

And finds strength to face a new day.

Haiku – The Lighthouse

Petal

She made herself smaller and smaller,

Until she fit into the palm of your hand.

Jaded, she would lie there,

Delicate

Shivering

Praying for you to become the home that would shield her

From all of the other sharp edges of the world.

Haikus – The Dance of Echoes

Travelling through time

While suspended in midnight

Returning to you.

A fleeting moment

Oceans of words unspoken

Too soon you vanish.

Reality comes

And as sure as the morning

Your echo remains.

Til next we meet, there

In that star-concealed escape

Remember me.
