Moon
Dreamers dream and blindsight gums
like worms squirming towards moonbeams,
feeling for whole heart holding.
Intense moonbeams
you make a worm of me yet.
Ghosts screaming 'remember me? Remember me once?'
Pushing back the soundless plea for peace,
writhing in the rays of my spiritual serenity.
Where is this peace? Where is my peace here?
Moon holds all secrets, giving up none.
Church of my heart, God of my peace,
you make a worm of me yet.
