The Promise

I haven’t see the moon for awhile

It reminds me of her,

her pale, porous face

dotted with scars

that brightly slices through the night sky

surrounded by wisps of cloud and circles of stars

patiently waiting for me to notice

that she has been there since the beginning of time

always watching

promising her light

as it rises over water

raining silver beams on the surface

which ripple and quiver

and gracefully carry me

through until morning

and to the end.
