Night in a Meadow

The clouds part to unveil the moon
A blueback sky holds frightening stars
An untouchable, unreachable world
Vast and unthinkably cold
And unfathomably furious
An inferno
A thirsty wasteland
Emptiness
Parched for light
Gasping for breath
A cradle and a battle field
With a heavy-hearted sigh
A tiny phenomenon, I,
Grass rustles beneath my blanket
The moon laughs at my
Highmindedness
Wraps the clouds around herself
The wind whispers to the Earth
Who hushes my eyes closed
And rocks me to sleep
