the promise cracked beneath the moonlight
its shards hum across the quiet hours

i listen to their trembling glow
each sound a ghost of what we meant to keep

the dark learns my name again
and answers with nothing but itself

I kept your name in a jar of dust
where silence hums like an afterlife

the moon does not answer anymore
yet still I kneel beneath its pale vow

distance thickens like forgotten smoke
but devotion breathes through ash

I am what remains of reaching
a flicker refusing to fade

the creek carried my laughter away
and I forgot how to chase it

I reach for it in sleep
but my hands are grown things now
no longer shaped for wonder

the more I stay organized
the more I follow the rules
the more I try to turn off my spontaneity
is the more I kill my creativity
and the more I kill my compassion
am I living just to be pulled apart?

Lee Firefly @leenard.bsky.social · 8d

there I am tomorrow
at a place for me to survive
turning down, fading myself
forcefully pulling my colors
all to live with safety
before they try to take advantage of me

you were a room once—
my laughter took off its shoes and sat down

colors of the window
skies of the season
I see time passing by
with me forlorn at the floor

I lay with all my dreams
I sleep with all my tears
I exist in the nevermore
And I yearn for everything

Hoping hopelessly, I see a kid and he was me
He was wounded and crying alone, you left me with no words
And I was the only one there to hug him, I was my comfort at my endless hurt

I think billionaires think of them as geniuses
and they think the world is hopeless
that nature must be used up soon
ans that there's no hope
as they take and take, money, riches
we then believe their power
and they believe we are all meeting the end
as they buy their wants and take our needs

you are every sunset and sunrise
your presence a celestial event
that urges to move, to witness you
you are a cycle of change, of love

but more than a visual scenery
your existence is with the dusk and dawn
you are a sign of life, co existing with the skies
you are the world to my soul
