Scarlet Luna-Mia Lombardi | Luna the moon Rose

Screaming tiny bodies

Knocking at my door.

I want to scream; no more,no more!

Feeling their souls as they take last breath.

I’m pleading… “No! not yet!”

Tiny warmth leaving with time.
I pay their toll fees to send them down the line.

The ferry man will take them
Where they need to be.
Until the next
that they can rejoin me.

The underworld is raining
As they scamper ashore.
I want to plead that I send no more.

But I know this is my burden
And also my gift.
To take away their suffering
So they will forget.

She looks up from the darkness.
A small smile on her face.
I have them now my darling girl.
Close your mind away from this place.

The rain falls a bit lighter now
Homage I bestow.
I Pick up my cloak
Grab a smoke
And walk up that old familiar road.

Staring up into the night she whispers… “I wish.”

“What is your wish?” the night replied

“I wish to be a real girl like the one in my head. Not this messed up doll that everyone sees instead!”

She cried into the night sky. sorrow filling her soul.

The moon smiled at the girl.

“Oh my child you are a real girl. It is plain for all to see.”

“A doll dances with whom holds her tight. It doesnt matter if held upside down, backwards, left or right.”

“You my dear have your own melody and will only dance for those turning the right key.”

“How do I know this to be true?
I’m the one that watches over you!”

The girl felt the moonlight fill her soul. Suddenly she no longer felt empty. She felt full of love and whole.

She knew then she would be alright. For she was loved, by the moon and the night.
