self

Moon over the mountains

The moon rises

and transforms the night

its light descending

shaping the valley

each step a mile

from sunrise to sunset

there lies the moon

reflected in a pool of light

our dream of happiness

lasts us through the night

My vision grows thin

as I walk away

I look to see you again

When I sleep

upon the lost shore

nevermore

through falling skies

leaving shadows behind

the path of light

reflects visions of the self

as one contemplates

the eternal being

being apart of it all

relinquishing the self

through fading skies

of shattered light

shadows move unchecked

contemplating dreams

chasing the moon
