To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Her veins 

stood out

and her bruises

clearly showed,

on her pale skin.

 

She silently 

glided 

across the sky,

her trail 

a scent 

of moonstones.

 

Her hand 

tried to grasp

all the star-stones

exploding 

all around her,

shining on her tired face

with blue light;

 

but there were 

too many,

and so they shot 

across the sky

like lost wishes. . .

The moon inspired me, haha. I hope ya'll like it. I love nature, so nature inspired me as God inspired me too. My past and emotions inspired me too.
