I met with the moon last night

It was unplanned

And we were alone

It kissed me with the dimness of its light

A kiss so tender

Like lovers who know they’ll never see each other again

It spoke of hope

And it told me that even evil needs to rest

I look towards home

And in the darkness

Silence whispered in my ear

That the world was asleep

And when they awoke

Hope would linger
