Oh Luna

Dear Luna,

I fear

You may be

The only one who sees me

Under your light

I have cried 1000 nights

And this evening is no different

Dating back to a time when I was young

Prepubescent

Back when I was unable to appreciate your presence

Your fluorescence

Was there to comfort me

Never judging me

Begrudgingly I showed you my soul

When I had nothing

And no where else to go

With this heavy heart of mine

With this heavy heart of mine

Oh Luna,

Even during the dark night of the soul

You did not turn your back on me

Only now do I realize

You are the only one I could never evade

The only one who has never betrayed

Me

You just always showed up

When I needed you

And when I didn’t

You still beamed on me

Solemnly swearing to never abandon me

Oh Luna,

How this world has abandoned me

Candidly I’ve shared things with you

I wouldn’t admit to no one else

No one else holds space for me like you do

Sending me healing energy like voodoo

Staring back at me like you knew

How much I was hurting

How hard I’ve been working

Like you found comfort in me too

Oh Luna,

Thank you

If no one else sings your praises

I do

If no one else sees your phases

I see you

Same time

Same place

Tomorrow I’ll see you

Sincerely,

Your favorite moon child
