another month has gone by
the leaves are beginning to fall
the tides and the moon have called
for another cycle
where my body sheds its own layers
and i become
renewed
now a new month is beginning
the leaves will continue to fall
and my body will build another layer
that will soon shed again in the months to come
it’s an ongoing cycle of
pushing and pulling,
rising and falling,
loving and despising.
in the end
we are all skin and bone,
stardust and soil.
there is not enough tea in the world
to fill a cup of sorrow
so from now on
i will continue to shed my layers
and let the moon control my cycle
because in the end
i am a miracle
