~Frosted Moonlight~

By Sarah Mahina Calvello

“Frosted moonlight….”-Lewis Carroll

On the day when

the weight deadens

on your shoulders

and you stumble,

remember me

a snowy morning

frosted moonlight

shivers in icey circles

with your breath

a braid of frost

and felt

mats

of twisted blue flowers

winking and nodding

in the wind

the sky swirls

and shivers

purple and jealous

curves of angels

and lilly sharp

icicles

in the silence

of chaotic dreams

help me to find balance

a flock of colors,

indigo, red, green,

and azure blue

frays

and fades

come to awaken you in

a stain of ocean

blackens beneath you,

a path of yellow moonlight

to bring you safely home.

coils of our breath

in a lonely hug

let me borrow

some warmth from you

and turn ice to fire

secret ghosts

of memory

frosted moonlight

to lead you safely home
