Moon (2025)

Your glow bathes me in

Cold, beautiful love

And I stand beneath you

Yet with you

Hearing your musical chatter

Making requests

That I have long ignored.

I feel the grief of this disavowal

Of our true nature,

Our ability to hear one another

In ways science can’t fathom

In its fearsome grip on rationality.

I feel you, your beauty

Brings tears to my eyes

As I long for our connection

To last forever

While knowing it cannot

And the exquisite pain of

Bittersweet loving reigns

My human heart.

For this vast, weightless

Heavy feeling I am

Utterly grateful.

Your silver beauty

Moves me like no other,

And yet, as the wave flows

I am left with this sense of

My earthiness and your sorrow

Of  the unknown of this.

Together we are other and

This bliss of appreciation

Sustains our relationship.

No longer will awe

Disconnect us

My silver friend.
