Brilliantly, after saying my prayers,
the candle burned out.
Glistening and glimmering were the stars
from dusk till dawn,
overlooking the sea where the moon was shining.

I sat, marinating in the lunar night,
as if Heaven itself
had poured fortune into me.
Gratitude rested with me,
in snow-white sheets.

Inspired by the silent places
I’ve wandered beneath the sky,
Luna walked into view
a blessing, unseen until tonight.

I took a leap of faith,
and Luna stepped onto my path.
We began our walks through day and night.

But as weeks passed,
we are no longer tight.
Distance stretched between us,
unclear
like a deer caught in light,
my heart too weary to fight.

There was a spark
when it started.
Now emotionally,
I feel completely discarded.
