Moon Creature

Moon Creature

Solitary

like me…

Alone when I came into being

my Creator screamed when he beheld me

and cast me out

for he

my Father

in his lunatic wisdom

with sewn together grave bits

had forgotten to make me beautiful

You were there

when I crawled over the land

unknowing

what are you

unthinking

what am I

not understanding

I felt

hunger

curiosity

joy

Then those like my Father

taught me

pain

fear

trust

betrayal

and all names

for all things

even you

except me

Always your silver light was there

is there

making my path glow

back to my Father

I’ll beg of him

a boon

Make me a Love

If granted

she and I will live together

happy under your gaze

If not…

As you often hide

I too will take cover

and in the time of my waxing

show my Master's Love

another word I have gleaned

I have learned how to lie
