Weak Spots Xii

Emerging in the dark, 
A pale ghost cast by the moon—
Authenticity—
With the glow of rawness and power

The song of truth so precious 
On a tongue that is pressed for
Change—submissive change—
Cradled in the prospects of devotion

The clouds covering the perfect circles
Penetrating through a lens 
That magnifies true, imminent light
Of gleaming giants in velveteen skies

Fearless revelations
That accomplish alluring awe
The conundrums of life
Beyond us—beyond words—in us

2.12.20

Note: Those alluring mysteries...in us...if only we knew how to reveal them like the thin clouds reveal the soft circular shape of that glowing moon, as it floats so carefree... yet so purposefully in the sky. I like to compare our vulnerabilities and our abilities to the universe. They are vast, and can reveal such beautiful things about us.
