My Mind and Moon

[Shoe]

Inspired by what Contention told me about my picture and...I think I realized why I love the full moon so much...
--------------------------------------------
Dark, lonely, and scared,
The softer side am I.
I tend to drift, to linger in void
Having no where to go,
No when to be.
Why I, a simple child, locked in my own mind.
Broken wings, shattered dreams,
A scarf to veil my face.
A shy one I am.
My scarlet beret of stickers of all sorts
Seems to be my only dearest treasure to my name.
Darkness every second,
Every minute, every hour, and every day.
The only chance is to pray,
That one day, I will discover my true strengths.
Yet, all I feel is weakness.
I feel shame.
The moon as my mind portrays,
Looks down upon me as if to say,
"Don't cry, don't fear, I will light your way."
All is calm and peaceful.
The moon brought my joy back.
I am no longer afraid.
I am at peace with myself and my rightful name.
Time to head in. Time to sleep and dream.
Not dreams of sadness and darkness,
But dreams of joy and light.
The soft side I am,
Shy yet afraid no longer.
The moon protects me, she guides the way
Through the darkness of my mind.
"Rest easy now.
No harm will come.
I will protect you, my young timid friend."
I see now, why my mind has her here.
Forever more 'til my dying breath.
She guides me, shelters me with her lunar light.
The moon, simple and bright.
My dearest friend in the night.

Wow Toshi, and you told me that you couldn't write poetry. Look at that bud, and tell me that you can't. You best keep this up Toshi, if your family is full of those who can write poetry than you have not fallen short of this skill at all. In that poem you just explained feelings from in the heart. You explained them in a way which utilized the beauty of the language in which we live. This is something so hard to grasp and comprehend but you did it with ease. For your first true masterpiece in poetry you got very far. I love the way you worded it and the scheme you chose to lay it out in. Really though, keep this up, your skills are showing very brightly.
