You Are The Moon

Shadows all around you as you surface from the dark.
imagine from gentle grip of nights unfolding arms.
darkness darkness everywhere.

do feel it at all?
the subtle grace of gravity the heavy weight of stone.

you don't see what you proses.
a beauty calm and clear.
that floods the sky and burrs the darkness like a chandelier.

all the light that you poses obscured by lakes and seas.
it's all that you believe.

I will bring a mirror so silver so exact
so précis so pristine.
a perfect plane of glass.

I will set the mirror up
to face the blackened sky
so you can see your beauty every time you rise.
