Sometimes there is no moon.
Sometimes the sky is completely black.
Sometimes it is filled with beauty,
Sparkling and shining, filled with hope.

But tonight was different.
Tonight I looked at the night sky,
And found myself.
I saw the moon,
Bright and full in the darkness.
But this night was different.
This night it rose and found,
That no one rose with it.
All the stars, abandoned.
Not one was left.

I looked up in the night sky,
And the moon looked back,
With solemn shine.
And we were the only two.
All others had gone,
Gone without mention.
We were alone.
But we were alone together.
I looked up,
And found myself.
Sometimes when I miss him in the lonely moments, all that is left is to find fellowship in the lonely, beautiful, and majestic moon.

Why does the human heart break?
Sitting by you, at the lake,
I wondered
With a simple word, we falter.
But with a lack of words entirely,
We break.

Oh why is man, who seemed so strong
Crushed in spirit by the silence of a lover?
And how could woman, with all her grace
Lose compassion for he who adores.

Oh my heart by this lovely lake
Do not of man abhor!
Lose from you the folly of youth!
Why must we love when it isn't shared?
Why must we, when one loves us
Be filled with cruel indifference?

Oh, my heart like the lords of this peaceful sky
Like those who return every rotation to shine,
As the stars glimmering in the sea above,
Oh, my heart, be redeemed.
Even when the human heart is cruel and nothing makes sense, the love of Christ surpasses it all. Find redemption in this Love that will never leave you.

Do you ever get cold,
And not know why?
You find yourself clenching your teeth
For no reason.
Shivers run their course down your spine,
And for a moment you don't remember.
But then the moment is gone.
He is gone.
No, he would have still been here if not for you.
You pushed him away.
You were already gone.
And now you shiver alone.
This was written in the aftermath of my first break up. I realized I didn't love him and had to let him go. Since then Jesus has healed me and I have found comfort in His love.
