Kinder Light

Pale silver blue

Light from the smaller globe

Birthed from the ancient earth

Broken off

By fire and force perfected

If slightly lopsided like my mind

At rest reflecting

Illuminating

The ebbs and flows lit from within

Death follows life and life follows death

Cycling

Not weak or less — only other

Strong in softness, because of softness

Sourced waves move tight in formation

Hugging the curves

Boring deep into places where

The wide red waves skip by

We see the forest clear-eyed

When there is time and quiet for

Eyes and soul to adjust

To still

Hold

Ponder

Wander

Exposing the path without

Blinding the wild imagination

Disappearing

Reappearing

Pain and joy

Despair and hope

Groaning and laughter

The kinder light of the moon

Shines without burning
