I played with the moon tonight
driving home, in the dark
there it was, shining so bright
sitting just above the treetops
full and round
slowly it slid away into the trees
here
and then
gone
peeking out at me from around a corner
hanging about the river
Where will I see it next?
a moment of enchantment
lips turn up at the edges
eyes crinkle in a smile
a fleeting glimpse of magic
and then
life hits hard and fast.
shaken by sobs
tears on my cheeks
head in hands
folding in on myself
falling apart
a fleeting surrender to pain
and then
gathering up the pieces
putting myself back together again
swallowing emotions
packing away hurt
being responsible
doing the right thing
a fleeting show of strength
and then
soft music
a flickering candle
warm tea
curled under a blanket
with an aching heart
and a purring cat
holding myself so gently
