the stars on the horizon remind us
there is beauty outside ourselves.
the moon in its splendor forces us
to consider the heavens above.
as the night inches closer to daybreak,
we await morning anxiously,
fearful of what the sun brings,
frightened of what the darkness will take.
as the clouds part to allow Luna to show herself,
we become closer, intertwined as one,
our limbs a maze that no one dares solve.
the fire by our feet flickers, but never quite goes out.
its heat washes over our bodies like a waterfall.
as fog descends upon this resting place,
as dew begins to form on the grass around us,
we lay,
watching the night fight back the day.
We lay,
wanting the shadows to triumph.
