Moon Mother

Something alive is in the moon
I'll live forever
Bathing in its glow

Lifting so slowly
To an enlightened state of being

One day my mind will quiet
To a petal-soft whisper

The galaxy runs through my blood
The heavens are in my eyes

...yet I dream of your kiss

Until then,
The warmth that fills the skies
I'll breathe into my body
