Water From the Moon


I cleave the rock
Two equal halves , dust
Spills out over worn tan work boots
I hand you the larger half
As you tenderly accept the
Geode like a premature baby, gingerly.
Light dashes off of the blue and purple iridescent crystals inside.
Outside thick grey clouds gather appearing like many rolling geodes
Spilling forth the light of a million stars
Cascading rainbow
Spilling forth the water
From the daughter, the moon.

The Water Is Wide

The Water is Wide,
Sings the cello
Riding the waves, notes
Reverberating from crest to crest
Water spills into the f-holes and overflows
White caps froth, black
Swells of gail winds
Still the low melodic
Strumming like a
Mother's humming
quelling a child's discord.
