Moon's Dark Rising: Poems for the heart, from the heart.

Darkside of the moon:
A sanctuary in orbit.
A place where everything is as you would have it.
A place to be alone when the world crowds around you.
A place where you never once see the Earth.
Never once see the destruction.
Never once witness the horror.
Never once have to deal with Earth's horrid humans.
A place that is desolate, dark.
Beaten and bruised.
Rejected by all
Yet it has it's share of the sun.
It is always facing the stars.
And never once does it have to see the terrible workings of Earth's greatest race.

Rainbows Unseen

The clouds rollin in
They ensnare the light
My happiness is taken
I’ve no energy to fight

Clouds gather their strength
Finally darken to black
Warmth leaves my heart
I can’t take it back

Burdens form into rain
Falling from the skies
Why can’t they see
Tears fall from my eyes?

The wind is lashing
The thunder grows louder
I feel myself crashing
Won’t stand this much longer

The rain pauses suddenly
The clouds break away
But I don’t notice
The rescue coming my way

A light comes out
The rays are bending
I’m surrounded by friends
Their help they are lending

A raindow is hung
Between two clouds apart
Love’s colors have an
Affect on my lonely heart

But very few pause
And look with wonder
Why don’t they notice
Colors displayed instead of thunder?

The storm passes on
The rainbow passes away
But I’ll always feel
It’s lasting affect on me

Perhaps you can only appreciate
The lasting rainbows that form
Only after you’ve felt the rain
Only after you’ve survived the storm.
