Clouds crawl like vines across the darkening
sky absorbing hues of a setting sun
retreating past a foreign horizon.
A lone woman stands beneath its growing
mass with head tilted back to see its forms.
The wind dances around her legs and soars
towards the majesty of the Lady
in the Moon. She envisions a brighter
world just beyond her senses and soft touch.
Ignoring temptation, she wanders home.

She Only Wants A Mirror
She only wants a mirror.
To know who she is.
To know where she is going.
She’s lost.
She’s afraid,
And fighting feelings of hate.
She’s confused.
She’s weak,
And losing those she loves.
She’s hiding.
She’s searching,
And degrading what she finds.
She wonders,
About many things,
But dwells on how might feel to be whole.
She’s grabbing,
She’s grasping,
And holding on for straws.
Why can’t she find it?
Why can’t she believe what she finds?
Why is she weak?
She asks questions,
And hears only repetitions.
She needs to see, not hear.
She’s losing belief,
In what she has,
And it’s killing her inside.
She pretends,
She lies,
And she’s learning to die.
Her hands are empty,
Her knees are weak,
She’s not strong enough.
