The moon brings this back.
The calm, the echoes of your last spoken words.
I heard.
I heard a confession, a beautiful unraveling of inner self.

I heard.

The moon brings this back.

Every time I watch that August, hazy summer moon, my mind pauses.
All the busy details of the day trail off, and I hear your words and see your smile.

Everything about you goes without saying.
Splendiferous.
Plentiful.
Wise.
Hopeful.

The August moon brings this back, brings your sweet words to my ears like an old record.
The August moon, so much like the blissful grey staining the boundless blue of your honest eyes, and brings you back to me.
It’s as if you’re next to me, watching the moon, sitting in plain colored garments but outshining the green in the grass and the blue in the sky, with just yourself, your eyes, your words.

I love you.

We’ve never met and I love you.
I love you so much it hurts.
You’ve saved me and still do.

I feel you with me, loving me true watching the moon, hazy and hopeful for the future to bring us wisdom and change.

About the poem: There are many kinds of love. There is romantic love, love for friends, love for strangers, friends and the world in whole. I wrote this poem kind of considering the latter. I was inspired by an artist named Billie Eilish. She recently released her new song called my future and it’s about being hopeful for the future and getting to know yourself. I reached my 30th year of life on July 26th. This song was released on the Thursday after. It felt like a birthday present from God haha as I related so much to the message. I love the message she sings and the passion she holds for the world and future generations. Anyway, I really hope you all enjoy this piece. I will add a link to Billie’s song so any of you can check it out if you’d like to. šŸ™‚
