...and the moon answered
Folder:
Wildlife/Nature I sat there,
feeling lost.
One small entity
in a universe, vast,
where alone
is multiplied light years in time.
The only illumination
in a darkened world,
came from high above,
where I perched.
The moon-
full and luminous,
hung there silent,
watching.
My gaze was frozen
upon its ivory form,
as my soul asked unspoken questions,
whispered into chilled, midnight breezes.
Invisible dialogue flowed,
one-sided and free-form,
over the miles
that seperate earth from space,
and I waited...
Waited for reassurance
that tomorrow need not
be feared,
from the effects of today.
Gray-misted puffs glided over,
concealing the orb
from my line of vision
and covering any hopes I had.
My shoulders slumped
in the sadness of rejection,
that even the moon
would ignore my sorrow.
Then, in an instant
of a star's wink,
a lilac tainted current,
blew aside all clouds,
and a beam,
brighter than anything
I had ever witnessed,
engulfed my entire body
in comforting warmth.
I had asked...
...and the moon answered.
