May you be light

The moon in the early morning,
So tired of talking to the stars,
Faded and white, dusty and dry,
Ready to go, ready to die:

I lit the path when you walked,
I watched when you peacefully slept,
I gave you the light you needed,
And I hope you will do the same.

May you be light for your fellows,
May you be a candle of hope,
May you be a fire of love,
May you be a glow in the dark.

May you be sun for the others,
Light their path more than I lit yours,
Without the stars, to help you out,
Without the stars, to hold your hand.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly
