Finalist

 

Earth’s Angel

 

You may speak up moon,

The flow of your change is welcome.

Push past the distance of the children.

The stones’ purity is out to help.

The seeds of truth serve the path,

Saving the breeze of a motionless joy,

Saving the breeze of a motionless joy, resisted by your fire.

Imagine the color of your tears as the alone become proud.

Prove that your restless silver gates will bridge the answer of your dance.
