Reaching for Beauty

By Kathryn Evans

Holding on to moonlight

Like water slipping through my grasp

Reaching for the starlight

Seems such an impossible task

Why do we care?

Why do we stretch ourselves for unreachable beauty?

Why do we expose ourselves?

Why do we let them hurt us like it’s their duty?

Moon holds the secrets

Mysterious and cold in the sky

Stars fall around you

Will they all one day die?
