Tonight
I want to devour the moon
in one gulp,
let the liquid luminescence
seep through my pores,
soak up the silver strength
and seamless beauty
that is she, the moon,
and me.

Walk the Path
Follow her footsteps
as she dances across the field
alive and young
joyous and free
Follow her footsteps
as she begins her first
sudden descent
into the dark chasm with her lord
Follow her footsteps
across the cavernous throne room
to the dais with the twin thrones
as she accepts her crown
Follow her footsteps
back into the light
into the arms of her mother
waiting above ground
Follow her footsteps
as she begins her descent
from light to darkness
and back again
