Melanie C. Campos ~ MahTame

WHAT IS BEYOND THE MOON?

What beauty lies…
Beyond the full moon?
Will the tide keep one safe
From a harming gloom?

What surreal sounds
Will plink upon nature’s
Evening sky as one glides
Across its silken avenues?

What ancestor will meet
With opened arms for me?
Would it be safer there
Than here with all that is ugly?

What strings of mourning
Will greet with sweet rapture?
Shall one become lesser than
What has been given in nature?

What are the trusting ways
That soars upon dusky skies?
Will there be greetings of love
Or are there vultures in disguise?

What shall one feel beyond
The warmth of a yellowy orb?
Please tell us cry out the innocents
For its protection we seek to absorb
