Un-Breaking


The young poet gazed at the ancient face
the Moon took no notice, although
she made an exception to the clouded night
and shone brightly to shred cover to gauze.

Inspired by the moon-showered night,
where the near orb suspends
against a sea of eternal jewels- the young poet
wrote small words that carried an enormity
-a moment that overwhelmed her breath.

Then she gathered- unbreaking her cut glass heart-
small notions and tinkling moon beams
to soothe the lonely syllables, and join them
on a string of boundless love
