MOONCHILD
I am moonchild behind the clouds,
my brilliance echoing in the blackness, crying into the night.
I am moonchild, standing out against the stars,
apart from their glow, I am alone.
I am moonchild, my shape changes
full, half, a slice and at times…
I am none.
I am moonchild, known but unknown,
in my newness you visited me,
but as I became old, unaffecting, familiar, you abandoned me.
I am moonchild,
long since the beginning until the end.
I am moonchild,
I am honor to the divine.
I am moonchild
I am stillness in the night.
I am moonchild,
I do shine.
I am the moon…child.
