Terra Firma

Embedded image from another site

As I stared into the emptiness I saw a reflection of us
One of a trillion lights surrounded by darkness
In the midst of its own chaos wondering if its time is next
Relying on a sun that is its beginning and end
Where an asteroid or meteor is an inevitable threat
With unlimited chances something worse could happen
Like two galaxies colliding or a supernova
Devoured by oblivion only known as a black hole
Constantly revolving around life and death
Like the angels and demons fighting inside my head
While her tides are connected to the effects of the moon
I'm in an ocean of tears affected by its mood
But still she stands brave in the middle of infinite nights
And so I am like a moth and am drawn to her light
With all of its scars her beauty is still shining through
And I'm as much a part of her as I am a part of you
But yet selfishly I focussed my thoughts on my own waves
When I should of focussed my heart on the beauty of her face
Because she kept love in my heart when the darkness would come
And a life without love is like an earth without sun

As the moon falls a darkness is rising and so I must be the light to set this world on fire….

HI Jesse, wow, some mind blowing stuff here!~ I really got lost in this one. LOVED this, especially these thoughts: With all of its scars her beauty is still shining through
And I'm as much a part of her as I am a part of you

The whole piece speaks to me, there is SO much here to reflect on. Where were you when you wrote this? Any music to inspire, or did your pen take wings and this was born? The photo really pulled me in. Thank you for the journey and for your care with the written word. Blessed be this Solstice Night.
