2. A Daughter's Lament

37 8 4
                                    


Swayed by the wind of desolation,

The moon whispered, "For the sky is my mother's gown,

The stars, a million fragments of her smile

That flicker with every passing frown, 

And constellations, embroidery of her soul,

Threaded with the lines of hope she'd held

So close, and all the sorrow she'd stole.

And so, when her fragile skin frays,

Burnt to a cerulean crisp by the sun rays,

And when she descends the depths of darkness,

Just so I, the light she'd treasured all her life,

Could shine so bright, despite my starkness,

I couldn't help but wonder,

Could there possibly be anyone who'd be fonder

Of someone whose destiny is to simply wander

In lost miracles, and unseen oracles?
