Red Moon

Red moon you took him away... I saw you piercing the night sky as I pulled the curtain aside That night the sky cried silently, the moon predicted blood, and the angels flew. With them they took his soul, they shattered my dreams slicing them with her scream, waking me in a daze; I ran for what felt as an eternity. "Your brother is dead", the rage, the tears, and most of the confusion burned my insides...It was so final. A bads boy turned good by wisdom of age had been given three mortal wounds... Didn't they know? He was bear coming out of his hibernation, coming out of his long sleep walk on the wrong side, catching up to his flock in the south. Red moon why did you take him away? You invaded my instincts... was it warning or death's chuckle at the cruelty it caused? You left us here like a hand with a missing finger... no matter how much you try it'll never function as it use too no matter what a shooting pain always makes its presence known and no matter how many times you forget for seconds the memory replays. I hated you I cursed you I vowed to never forgive you; my dear brother, for the sadness of leaving But today more understanding I know you are that guardian angel that shines that soul that sits on the marshmallow of a cloud... crying and laughing with us... Oh red moon you never won for he still lives... in our memories and hearts.
