The Moon’s Hallelujah Sound
I stand within the Twilight ZoneBetween pitch black and home Here in no man’s landListening to the Last Post from the bandstand I am not scared, nor do I feel aloneThe deep grayness glows like black chrome Bathed in droplets of moon rainThe tapestry’s dampness melts into the fading plain As I wander above my ... -

Why they abandoned me in the deep dark forest
They left me when I gave up on their dark fairy tale— the one they tell empaths as children: to twist yourself into knots like an old forest tree and you’ll live happily ever after. But in solitude I touch my roots and feel my magic. -
Stellar Tag and Moonlit Dreams

Puffs of foggy shouts crystallizeas we fall into softblankets of sky snowready to soften the blow. We play tag with shooting starsand Double Dutch withthe Constellations,our laughter rings through the Milky Way. Then along comes Nightsweeping ...
