tonight’s wind

you roar

and then you whisper

thank you

for trusting me

with your thoughts

*

tidal

just once

i want to know

what the moon has to say

about us

*

roses are rebels

they face each storm

head on

and yet

they always return

perhaps this is why

they so often

carry thorns

*

ephemeral

sometimes

music makes me

forget

i am mortal

*

in awe

while i know

the science behind

the twinkling of stars

just for this moment

i will feign ignorance

simply to enjoy

their silent hymn
