Light in a Faceless Society

I touched the moon yesterday

my fingers lit up, contact

wrapped in his celestial warmth

like the bright morning sun

breaking... bursting

over the threshhold of the horizon

I felt my lips kiss the endless stars

.... goodnight

as I opened my eyes

everything was gone

still, I pressed on

all the blank faces

staring at me as I moved

searching...

they all looked the same

each shallow set of eyes

reflecting such narrow minds

eyes flicking from one 

to another

his face imprinted in my mind

but it was he

I couldn't find...

I brought my body closer

to the earth

laying on her loving surface

what have they done?

her grasses are choking

by their plastic toys

and styrofoam tolls

the faces, they surround me

just the next thing to destroy

taking pictures of my drowning eyes

as I long for shelter

somewhere to call my own

I want to feel... safe

but there's no where to run

no where... to go

the flashing lights

continue to blink

but their eyes are on the brink

they see my soul

as the church bell tolls

though not one

can guide me home

hands at their side

each covered in crimson mold

they stare and they scold

throwing jagged edged stones

where is my moonlight?

and the energy he beholds...

longing, yearning, waiting
and then...

he hears my call
resuming the shape
of the moon, sun 

... and stars
his light shining 

shrouding my exposed soul

from their piercing eyes 

as I curl into his light

memories of the faceless

are slowly kissed away.

It is here that I surrender

trusting him with my heart

as my demons fall away.
