"Life and love go on"
(Stephenie Meyer, 'The Host')
~ The Sentinel Moon ~
Halfway between
yesterday and tomorrow
when fault looks to land
when fault looks to land
the Sentinel Moon rises
awaiting love's command
devoted to
those who came up short
whose hearts don't understand
the Sentinel Moon flickers
and burdens are banned
as black turns to rose
and dawn comes anew
and dawn comes anew
absolution will stand
the Sentinel Moon fades
until the next demand.

Reminds me that the night is the place where all becomes naked in the darkness. True freedom and beauty of being. Lovely Dahlia.
ReplyDeleteThe moon as love's sentinel - there is a wonderful image: it feels so very right
ReplyDeleteLove the imagery and the way you used prompts. I hope the sentinel moon doesn't hit my eye like a militant piece of pie...
