fingers in the sky

There is nothing I fear
about lightning
because it is just a
passing collision of
clarity. Beautiful -

But I can fear the sun
with its everlasting shine
though its touch
is a delicate warm. The sun, she
shines
forever above
a glare that blinds and
sometimes burns
red lines on my
skin.

I am in love with the moon
yet i am only
in love with a reflection
tainted by the
everlasting shine
as it shares the
inevitable light
the moon greedily
absorbs.

The new moon sometimes seem
so much better
because I don't need to feel the need
to sit and watch
and I can own the sky.

There is nothing I fear
about lightning
but the blinding light
of a forever sun
is a risk that will
always burn in my mind.
