eternal water: Moon and You

Friday, October 26, 2012

All along I've thought I was the moon

and you were a giraffe

I was right.

You kept saying "I love you"

You were up high in the trees eating your veggies

I couldn't hear you

taller than all of us around you

with your long neck and spotted spots on your silky smooth skin

you walked and teased with those long and fine legs of yours

I would whisper, and hum you tunes from my heart

and you would hear every beat of them

you always stood up tall

enhancing that long, long neck of yours

listening to the sounds my heart would make

problem was,

I was the moon.

As the long, peaceful and breezy night died off

skies got lighter

making our moment less private and secret

we got closer

and you took the high risk of injury

by lowering your neck towards me,

to find me

to not let me go

but as the warm light of the sun peaked in

I was no longer there

and you were no longer standing tall and firm

but down on the ground searching for me

wondering if the earth had swallowed me in

wondering, how did we get so close

and now you are gone?

where are you, you said...

while all along I was turned around to face another world

was left out of yours

and you were left all alone

without me

without the tunes of my heart

without even, a simple good-bye
