Moonchild

It was a night of a wolf moon.

I was alone and

The stars rescued me again.

They tenderly and softly flew me up

To the Moon herself-

Graceful, unfaltering and perfectly flawed.

She looked at me, studied my face

As I found comfort in her silence.

She reflected my sorrow

In a more acceptable way.

She and the Universe intertwined fingers

And calmly smiled at me.

“Nothing’s gonna hurt you baby’’

And that moment- I believed them

And transcended into

Their infinite beauty.

They caressed me, healed my wounds

And told the Stars to take me back-

But only temporarily.

Stars whispered in my ears on the flight

That I would return to them in Time;

That one day I would even be one of them.

Maybe a fallen star that kids wish upon.

Maybe a heavy cloud before a downpour.

Maybe a blue sky holding them together.

Maybe a part of the Moon, her child if she pleases.

One day I will reunite with my true family.

That’s what they said.

The Stars.

And the Stars never lie to me.

They slowly placed me on my bed and

Planted on the night sky lovingly.
