Poetry: Worlds away

Silence of the moon upon the lapping water,

smoldering embers of fire glowing,

a blanket of stars laid upon velvet dark,

different now that you are worlds away.

Butterflies waiting to be caught,

fish laughing that they will not,

roads never again to be taken, my faith

a bit shaken, now that you are worlds away.

Many mansions in His sky, I'm sure

that one has caught your eye, a multitude

of butterflies, even more the fish, roads

to travel, hills to climb, I imagine

all the rocks you'll find, all worlds away.

Endless time, the moon cries down,

lapping water revealing frown, smoldering

embers turning gray, blanket of stars

fold upon the coming day, I wake

once more to find you worlds away.
