Unchosen Light

Always The Stars, Never The Moon

By Yasmine LagrasPublished 10 months ago • 1 min read

If I were the moon,

would you still turn your face

toward the scattered stars,

those distant suns who never learned to stay?

If I gave you every phase of me,

would you still search the heavens

for brighter, easier loves?

Or would you rest here,

where my light isn’t much,

and let the stars be simply stars?
