An Ode To the Moon and Stars
You ask us to search
for indescribable patterns.
And I do.
So I am
under a clear, black sky,
desperately searching.
Yet I will never find the answer
I am looking for.
The world around me
has become a dark
and desolate place.
Whispering secrets into the ears
of non believers.
Imploring us to
believe that
it is over.
So I sit,
finding hidden messages
written in the sky.
Clouds and sun
suppressing the truth,
telling me
it will never be okay.
I see the whips of clouds
hiding the good.
I see the sun rays
blinding me from malevolence.
I see the blue sky
fighting to keep its secrets.
But I see the moon
and the stars.
And they are clinging to me.
Begging for me to have faith
and listen.
Hoping I won’t give up.
And I know not to fight to live.
Instead, fight to believe.
Because my belief
will not be found
in the contents
of a math book.
So this is an ode
to the moon and stars,
and all that fights for me
in times that my heart is empty.
