Moonfall

Sarah Angelise

We waited  
with our hands tied  
under our wings  
For the perfect moment 
to be gifted to us 
Watching the Sky 
from afar 
Watching the stillness  
of the burning stars 
The Moon rose  
golden in hue  
And yet you stood still  
You did not know what to do 
So we waited 
a little longer 
Burned prayers and love letters  
Sacrificed our chances 
Gave everything up 
to the Moon 
Until the Moon fell  
sleeping 
into our hands 
of dreams  
And we stood silently 
In awe of its graceful falling  
from the Heavens 
And we let go of everything  
We ever believed  
And I kissed you 
Filling your hands with new stars  
And you handed me new dreams  
As we fell asleep in one another's arms
​With the Moon fading into starlight
