Tonight – tale of the Moon girl

Tonight we bask
Under the pale hue of the moon
Smile in the ray of its glee
Never knowing the sun will rise soon

Tonight we bond
Walking through the grace of silver powdered sand
Feel the promise of gravity around our feet
And feel the breath of life in each other’s hand

Tonight we dream
Laughing with blue stars and singing with an invisible breeze
While we dance in circles
Until one falls and the other leaves

Tonight I remain silent
Watching the rise of the sun’s glare
I risk racing across clouds to find the wind
Only stop to realize it was never there

Tonight I go
Locking the gate of never after to which I belong
Climbing forever and never into the darkness
Whispering the story of a girl with no song

Tonight ends
Where the light went out as with the lie
Breathing roughly in a silence
And I hear the Moon beg the Sun that it does not die

Today I stand
Severing my caged insides apart
Wondering who I am, what I am, why I must go
And where I should start.
