Moon Story

I told the moon my story,
knowing she'd heard a billion worse.

If the storm feels free 
enough to give voice to its being,
why should my tongue be stilled?

    1. We must seem like a really wild reality show. I hope the moon has plenty of popcorn on hand.

  4. It should not, and the moon will embrace your words and savor them. As I do.

  5. I think Nature is the best of teachers. She doesn't fear someone else's reactions to her roaring. And since we are daughters of Nature, I think we do right by her when we just let it rip!
