i sat in peace, calm and still
while whirling around me
excited and thrilled
the people stirred, woke up
and looked outside at the moon
hanging serene in the sky and unchanged
pictures were snapped, clickity clak
and they all just reduced the moon
to a small dime, or a teardrop of light
and the darkness moved over
(it always does that, it’s not new)
and the moon simply gave way
and yielded itself, and swam down beneath
and just held its moon-breath
and just pretended death
until everything got bored and
swirled on away and the people
saw other squirrels to spend time on
…
well, i just sat where i was
with the moon in my heart
and her light in my soul
and she is always full
and her wine always mine
never eclipsed by anything
in between her
and where I stand here
inside of her heart
Charissa's Grace Notes 
As ever, you have a wonderful way of turning the specific into the deeply metaphysical while keeping it very human, real, and multi-layered. You beautifully portray your own sensitivity in a world that often seems cursed with superficiality and indifference.
Thank you, Dear Ellie…how have you been??
You have been mega on my heart, mucho prayers for you!!
❤
It’s been an odd time of late, I’ve had a bit of transphobic hate chucked my way yesterday, but lots of support from friends and family, and I am deeply touched by your concern. 🙂 xxx Hope you have been doing well, my beautiful inspiration.
Ohhhh my dear one… Every. Day.
I think of you and make mention of you when I do… Bless you as you travel ❤❤
