The moon smiled at me today
Her little smirk
Her little wink
Peeking from behind her coarse black mane
Swept to the side like stage curtains
She holds a secret
A knowing glance
A specialness we have not yet seen
She watches
And waits
And waits
Locked in this revolution
Around and around
Endlessly
She pulls in the sea
But
She cannot maintain a grasp
there is a time for it to be away too
We follow the sea
It’s push and pull
It’s always-moving
On me
On you
We cycle back and forth
Like the sea and the shore
The world keeps spinning and nothing stays the same
Not even the tide
Her Mona Lisa smile knowing the secret
In the deep water
The drowning waves
The rocking dock
The raft out to sea
The feeling that all is lost
She peeks
just wait
It will pass
We will get our feet back on solid ground
She waits
It doesn’t happen all at once
A toe here and there
Being reminded of the shore
Those grains of sands between your toes like planets in the great sea above
She peeks and nods
She keeps her sweet face
Her sweet smile
She places us safely on land where we can learn to walk
The moon smiled at me today
She said,
You’re safe
This will pass
Just wait
Enjoy the ride
You have time
In a wink behind her cloak
And I knew I was safe.
