moon

i write the moon for you

the sad silver part

you thought would never shine

for you

i write the waves for you, soft currents

i know your pain is so immense

the moments they rejected you

let the waves wash healing waters

over all of you

let the moon cast away the darkness

with its silver beauty

forked tongue not of death but licking you clean

let the honey wash and heal you

i know this road is bitter

trust me, my darling

and some day let every word you could never utter

be spoken

like beauty

pearled
