La Lune et Moi

La Lune et Moi

The moon and I stayed up together
Keeping each other company
We immersed ourselves in darkness together
Shining our few beams of light

The moon and I read together
Although I opted for a book
The moon read humanity
And so we were lost in our worlds together

But, without me the moon read humanity
One part of the globe at a time
Without me it witnessed the evils of darkness
From its perch so high

Because all the scum and the worst come out in the dark
They wreak havoc and leave discord in their wake
And the moon watches, sometimes hiding itself in the darkness
Still watching

And I am left with nothing but their aftermath
As the sun burns away all the culprits
I wait for the darkness, for the moon. I too have become a creature of it
Perhaps this time with a better book

What I Saw Today

I glimpsed in the window of a passing van the clouds shaping an evil grin, which filled me with wild fears and reminded my of a fallen angel. However, remembering that my father in heaven was just beyond the clouds I smiled knowing that the devil had no powers beyond attempting to induce fear.
