Starry Night

We sleep under 
The swirling clouds
Hunting for stars
Crystals of light 
To guide us 
Like paint on a page
Turning into a picture
Simple and pure
We take deep breaths 
She holds my hand 
That's all we can do
She whispers
It's not time to leave yet
There has been enough 
Blood 
Pain
Mutilation 
I can feel tears swelling
In my eyes
I don't know why
I am so unhappy 
Then I look at my face
And know 
The night sky is like a blanket
It soothes us
We leave the window open
An invitation to the moon 
To join us
To bring us magic 
In this starry night.

  1. Lovely! I always found gazing at the moon through my bedroom window made me feel comforted, stronger ... and I do believe she (I think of the moon as female) brings magic.

  4. I love the ending, how pain can be soothed by an open window to the moon.

    Where there is a full moon, my bedroom windows are always open.
