MOON SHADOW

MOON SHADOW

I live in the shadow of the moon.
I have grown and sprouted much too soon.  
I will try with all my might  
To live in the bright sunlight. 
I close my eyes but yet I’m still here.  
Sitting on a branch next to a pear.  
My petals are white as snow  
Because of this fact I know. 
I will never be awake at day  
No matter how hard I wish and pray.  
For I live in the shadow of the moon   
And I’m slated to sing the nightly tune.

UNTIL THE NIGHT

   The bushes move.

   They have a heartbeat.

   A movement of their own.

   To an unknown tune.

   They surround me.

   They comfort me.

   In the darkness.

   In the night.

   Until the morning light.

   When the sun wakes.

   The bushes part.

   And let me out.

   Ready for a new day.

   Until the night.
