Calm waters conceal the inner turmoil
grasping to survive upon life's rickety road.
Silhouettes of fragility sway to moon's tidal charm
and wishes upon a star rest silently upon yesterday's breath.
Drowning within lunar's whimsical nature,
the spiritual compass guides brittle dreams
over lost horizons.
Within the dark perimeters of mystery,
sweet whispers of salvation
fly to simply paradise.

I like the inner turmoil grasping to survive, "Silhouettes of fragility sway to moon's tidal charm and wishes upon a star rest silently upon yesterday's breath," dreams drowning with the moon, a spiritual compass guiding dreams through dark perimeters, releasing to paradise.
A grim snapshot in an eerie setting and a whisper of hope.
