tin stars and silver moon

evening last
as day slipped over the edge
of my restless garden
something called to me
from the wind

the tin stars of summer were gone before they arrived
remember?
the sun yet lingers on your shoulders
soon to fade
not even the silver moon is yours to keep

pain does not last forever

it seeps into your skin
becomes a quiet part of your heart
finally accepts you
as lifelong host
and glows only
when tin stars and silver moon
require it

listen

hear the wind

another season walked in
while you were looking
elsewhere
