To Know A Soul

To be able to hear 
the pleading messages 
of the foremothers 
is to know deeply 
the healing light 
of the dark moon. 

One will know if 
they've always been 
the type of person
to heal the ones
shining brighter 
than the sun.

Or will soon see them
as a once-thriving garden
that did not fully bloom, 
with cold and dried stems 
and dated petals that
have already fallen.

Note: This poem is about nature spirits.
