MoonlitMuse
47 A playful, fledgling poet who writes to breathe, dream, and escape. The moon has been my lifelong muse, sprinkling a bit of magic over every word I dare to put down.
The woman I am today A brighter More balanced No wind can sway Both feet on the ground Roots taking shape Delving my existence Deep in the dark, earth bound I’m thankful Joyous and proud That I had the sense to stand still When winds of time promised ruin I channeled what’s deep inside My tree of life Went deep into the bark Seeking the light Bright beautiful calming Light, but dark I found not a spark But a feeling that feels warm - contented peace Moving and guiding gently

Choppy seas inside my soul fierce Knocking me around Currents pulling tension like Tight like tight rope Waves like skyscrapers Beating boulders Like the beatings I got as a child They don’t budge though the fight is on Swells lining up like an army against the rocks One by one Until retreat! Conceding Calming itself down Gently now Easy now Tiny ripples Now Easily navigating the pathway Beneath the towering boulders Theres a passage way In the shadows Quiet peace like an easing stream Away from noise of hollow tunnels And the The seagulls gawking All of a sudden The ripples unite In a race to the shore All rise! All power! A dramatic performance! As it touches and kisses the shore There united and Intertwined With the warmth of the sand Steam evaporates like a spirit rising And breathes a sigh Im Home

High tide
It feels like a stone in my heart ♥️ I’m trying to roll it out the way Heavy deep set dead weight gravity I think my heart has hardened? Panic What am I chipping away at to reach it? Dislodge it It won’t move I’m sweating I’m dying trying Screaming inside Behind my ****** facade A veil Nobody sees the struggle inside The laughs and giggles Dancing and wiggles A deterrent There behind the stone I feel the warmth Theres something shiny and bright! I’ve struck gold! There…some relief 😮‍💨 when It lifts a-bit Elation, joy, fulfilment Presence I fit in I’m only wedged in But all too soon I succumb I can’t hold on Fear Icey cold I crumble and let go again - Again - I fall into pain

Loss is suffocating It swoops in like a vulture seeks it prey It spreads like wildfire in an instant Soot and stench filling your cavities Disarming, feelings muted Thoughts scrambled Heart heavy like an anchor at the bottom of the ocean Body immobile Jumbled memories like a tv trying to connect in bad weather And then radio silence You’ve flatlined ____________

Loss
That realm between Pain and Pleasure The sweet spot I’ve been pondering not sitting the fence a-lot pain brings out the best in me it’s in those trying moments that I learn to know me pleasure incredible as it is highlights the things I don’t want to be I’m comforted in the uncomfortable And I see the flaws between the sparkles ✨ There’s no place to hide The answer lies inside?
