Only the lonely
griefnaturemusicpoliticstimelove
Only the lonely
Waiting to survive,
Nothing changes
But the conviction
To believe.
The movement of stars
Is as grounding
As the solidity of the earth,
The sadness of the moon
As she broods
In silence
At the proximity of her lover.
Their separation
Rarely breached
The space between
Eclipsed by the warmth
Of his flame
The heat of his passion
The fire in his soul
It is all she has ever needed
Even as she fades
It gives her the strength
To return.
He waits
Just out of reach
Until the kiss
The embrace
In passing
The longing
For continuance
The yearning for endurance
Beyond loneliness
More than survival.
