One night fades into another.
Embers of past hopes linger quietly.
The moon whistles a sad song,
bathing her in a blurring melody.
The leaves whisper and fall,
to pick pieces of her scattered dream.
A solitary bird halts its journey.
Its company, a peace offering.
The magic is everywhere.
Coloring her with the hues of darkness.
I love the image of the leaves picking up pieces of the moon’s scattered dreams – how connected all parts of nature are, the past, the present, so magical.
