elated

by elizabeth-larsen

This moon pulls, it tugs at my strings, it convinces my heart to break free of its cage because these bones contain. Its a promise, a romantic persuasion, a new idea, it excites my heart, makes it want to join in the happy jubilee of the moon and its connection to me. My heart cant fly, if it escaped it would shatter, its slivers scattered across the earth. sure, it would cause new life to grow where the pieces had fallen but I would be left empty, with a broken cage, with worn out strings, with nothing left for me, so ill keep it contained, until the next moon sings, to see what this next moon brings. I'll keep the moons joy to me for fear of its manipulation of my hearts deepest persuasions.
