sleep – Poetry for Change

Thank you for the honor and your hard work.

Cradled Moon

Dressed in white, hair, a golden flax,
She lays on the fluffy white cloud
Bent in a fetal position, arms hold
The fluorescent moon under chin, lax,

In rest, she poses a vision of calm
As the moon shines brilliantly
In a frame to keep the fearfully
Looped worries away from her palm,

And creates a luxurious beam
Enrobing her in warmth Of light
As she slumbers in the clouds’ soft, bright
Lumanescence whose role is to brim

With courage and fight against
The terrors within, A heroine never
Given any fame, but like the moon, it’s a killer
Of monsters that create panic, at a cost

Too high to endure, if it were not
For the peaceful moon laying in arms
Breaching the towers of fright, it calms
The dread, horrors that she faught.
