The silence of the night is deafening
As I find myself reaching for a dream
Quietude voices its harsh displeasure
As a whisper hidden within a scream
I lay here gazing at the beauty above
While it illuminates the midnight sky
Full and round and without question
Emotion conveyed in single tear I cry
The solitude of existence confounds
As time slows to keep us pondering
Meaning of life may not be visible
Yet my thoughts continue wandering
Epiphany comes in peaceful night
Putting end to sleepless frustration
Commonalities shared with a moon
Shedding light on Mother’s creation
Much like the light cast from up above
Serenity bathes me in a brilliant clarity
As my radiance shines for others to see
I am singularly splendid in my sincerity
Like an oasis amidst the endless ocean
Alone yet surrounded by abundant life
I shed my light when and where I can
In hopes of lifting spirits; ending strife
A revelation of blue moon’s quiet secret
I see it’s light comes from other direction
Much like the light I try to bring to others
I’m not the source, but a glorious reflection
