Wisdom of the Moon

Here I sit

The cold night

Wrapping its arms around me


The snowflakes falling

Swirling around me

Dressing me in their ice


Fear engulfing me

Encouraging me, tell me

Run


I want to run

To feel the wind blow away my cares

To do the same thing I've always done


But I want to stay

Curiosity whispers in my ear

Daring me to take that chance


I want to be free

Confusion strangling me

Killing my thought


So I come to the moon

Pure, sweet, kind

All knowing moon


Tell me your answer

Tell me what you know

Wise, all knowing moon


The moon is silent

Anger takes me

Why won't it answer


Tell me moon!

You answer the stars your brothers, and the wolf your child

But you remain silent to me!


The moon never answers

It smiles back

With its all knowing glow


Tell me moon!

Tell me what to do

With your rays of knowledge


The moon remains silent

Not a whisper

The cold bites at me


I go now

Away from the mocking moon

Rejection at my heals


Now I know the answer

And I am not afraid, nor do I blame the moon

For it knew I had to find the answer by myself


I know the moons true wisdom

And it mocks me no more

It knows that sometimes silence is the best answer
