To gaze upon the sky,
a tear among the stars.
How lovely it must be to shine,
to share a single light.
The moon must dance with stars,
so all may hold the night.
Dearest moon,
you hold my secrets,
all my sorrow and my want.
Why do I seek you in the dark?
Can I become as one with you,
and join the stars that gleam?
Let us hold hands and dance,
a brilliant, shared dream.
My reason on the earth
fades as your time in the sky,
this window pane so familiar,
its dusty edges meet my eye.
I fixate on the mold,
festering in the deepest corners,
as my yearning grows
like a wound that needs a healer.
