Raging Moon

Homecoming under the moon
devoid of pain.
When did the clock turned back ?
You are becoming a child.

My journey opens
in a dark wound.
A promise to walk blindfolded,
when only the footfalls are audible.

The distance between the homes
was increasing.
Your own shadow becomes a stranger:
mystery of defining the life.

Living  among cannibals,
aides ready to drag your carcass
unfolding your truth
falling in dust.

This is very existential. As inward as the child is, the child inside you is not dead. Listen to Enigma's song, "Return to Innocence"- you can only accept love as that child. -Sara
