Our cupped whispers
Our blanket fort
Our candy bracelets
Our secret shh
Our tiny giggles
Our childish valentine
Our love grows

Everyone                  
    wants
     to be
      the
      sun
to lighten
       up
  someone's
      life.

       But
    why not
        be
       the
      moon
  to brighten
      in the
     darkest
       hour?

      And if
    you are to
love, love like
     the moon
        loves.
     It doesn't
   steal the light.
   It only unveils
            the
beauty of the dark.                                                         Jon York   2019

                Night drive.

Like the moment I first saw her,
Parched lips that tasted water,
Mother Nature's only daughter,
Living on the street,

In the open desert valley,
I feel her air around me,
Effortless and soundly,

One day we will meet.

time as such decay
       lost along the way
                truly unruly stray

                             where is home?
                                               I cannot say.
