Embrace The Moon
In class we're reading a book called "A Long Way Gone"
We had to take about 20 words, or just an idea off of a page and make a poem. I took the idea that the moon provides peace and brings people together at night, in this war-torn village. The poem doesn't have too much to do with the book, it's just what I was inspired to write about the whole moon thing mentioned in the book.
I have to read it in front of the class tomorrow. I'm going to be all red. Yay.
Embrace The Moon
Who doesn't want to be perfect?
Perfect is God.
God is light.
Light is truth.
Truth is love.
Love is wisdom.
What will be our light in the dark times we're in?
God gives us many moons in our lives.
In such obvious contrast, how can we not see the light?
The opportunities.
The dark has taken our hope.
We, blinded in the darkness, take eachother's hope away.
This isn't love.
True light and true love seam as if only a fairy tail.
Why are all those living in the dark afraid to seek the light?
Why do they settle with what they have?
Dark is not something itself, it is the lack of something.
Why are they afraid of truth?
Why are they afraid of love?
Why are they afraid of wisdom?
Why are they afraid of God?
When will they want light enough to seek it?
Will they have to hit rock bottom?
When will they embrace their moons?
