Poem
the crescent moon
a faint lopsided smile
in the indigo sky
glows with a subtle warmth
a warmth that reaches..
reaches deep within
touching a heart
miles away
far apart
the moon
brings love back
back again
for a fleeting moment
of this life
at this time
of a blazing
indigo sky
the sparkling star
an eye’s bright twinkle
in the indigo sky
shines with the light of hope
a hope that reaches…
reaches deep within
touching a soul
miles away
from a home
the star
brings life back
for a fleeting moment
of this love
at this time
of a blazing
indigo sky
