It's my best friend, the only thing I can count on
It's like my whole life was for this very moment
My body aches for the cold breeze
How it works its way into my body, making me numb
How the Mayflies stick to my shirt
Making me one of them, finally a feeling of belonging
As I sit, my feet touch the ground
The wet soil leaving stains on my feet
The fuzz from the trees making me sneeze
In the distance the fireflies dance to their own tune
This is my time
How I become nightfall's child
I'm no longer in a world of fear
I'm sitting on the moon, the goddess beside me
And as I lay down, rest my head in her lap
She sings my farewell song, a sweet lullaby
I fall into the twilight
Becoming one with the spirit world
Forever a Moon Fairy
Author notes
If I were to be reborn as something, I would want to be a Moon Fairy, forever basking in the glow of the moon.

Good
The passion and emotions are alive in this piece and confront the reader with their sense of isolation and depression. Your words speak with the power of experience and your mind set flows onto the page and we can commiserate with you. The imagery is good in this poem and the reader can feel the experience. Your poem falls within the category of whimsical, fanciful and imaginative; armed with an energy of its own that propels it into our sphere of reality.
