The Moon Poem by Emma Hansen (she/her)

the moon still favors you

she loves us both 

to be sure

blessed us before our us

even left the ground

but she leaves you extra light

on the doorstep when she leaves,

paints you in gauzy lavender and silver blue

she loves it most when you sing,

she told me 

in one of our long conversations 

that somehow always lead back to you

about your honey green voice

that sounds of the earth, 

and how they all love you in the cosmos.

you are the perfect bridge you see

just this side of ethereal 

you mingle with the stars

since you are one

but the grass and leaves grow up around you 

with just as much ease

ever so happy to be near your light.

and i am too.
