Moon dust

Hi everybody,

I don’t think I’ve ever written any poem before. So the poem is the Moon talking to the Sun . And is me talking to God and to the light of others brought to me. And it’s also the Oneness expression in Buddhism. To be One with God.

Or it can be anything as you feel. Hope you enjoy.

I am named of a Moon
I am of dust, cold and hard rock
I radiate ’cause you shine
I am not able to thrive without your light
Deep inside
I am of an eternal fire.
