Wanting

The stars found me again tonight
Peeking behind the moon they beckon me to come out and play
I wanted to stay in my covers
The pillow holding my head
Waiting for my tears
The darkness covers me instead as I tip toe through the night
The crickets sing my song
The trees want me to swing on their branches
Play with me, they say
but my thoughts are somewhere else
Sing with me, they cry
but my song is hidden with you tonight
My arms reach up
Kissing the moon with my fingertips
I reach for you
My yearning pulls my heart and stings my eyes
My cheeks are pink with flush
My lips are wet with dew
My tongue waits to speak the words
The moon wraps me up
The stars kiss my skin
The trees hold my head
and I sleep
and I dream
and I want
