Challenge
the moon will sing
inspired by the Crane Wives' song 'the moon will sing.' write poetry that has to do with this phrase
Cosmic Song
riding on waves of stardust
across this mismatched sky
spotted with gold and laced
with blue black ink, thrown
together and torn apart at
the seams, the very fabric
of the universe s p l i t t i n g
as if to allow us through
colliding with the sun in a
burst of blinding color, bright
rainbow shimmering like a melody
just out of reach
we will forget this moment,
as all is forgotten, engulfed
by the universe itself, reimagined into
a new set of stars,
a dazzling comet,
a sundripped sky
in the end, we won’t remember
but we won’t be forgotten
one day we’ll be stardust
and the moon will sing
our cosmic song to everyone
that dares to listen
