Moon

Brightest light that will

guide me to where I must

go.

The creeping shadows all

but a blur.

Whispers and howls all encased

in a reality so unreal.

Where do you go when

the moon disappears?

You float with its disappearing light.

The sun cannot touch what the moon

has laid down.

Speak now, my child.

What bothers you so?

Do you miss the moon?

Or do you miss the light that

it provides for you every night

in the lonely hours when you are

alone.

Do not worry

about the missing the light

because it will always come back

night after night.

But I know the comfort of it

is what you really seek,

because I go out every night as well

just to feel the light of the moon

hold me

until I feel sane again.
