Exile of the Moon (poem) - Shawn

From my high funeral pyre,
Built on the dictates of my existence,
I watched the sails and colors of the world
As they shifted in time and red dye.

It was my blood I saw
Flooding those canyons and craters
That resembled my own.
And in my solitude
I wept for the comings and goings
Of God.

I saw myself pulling,
Ripping away at the land and sea,
Wishing only to free myself from
The combative dance
That held me ever falling toward
That terrible love I could never reach.

For it was my own effort that kept me
Turning faster away
Toward the big quiet of the dark.
Out there, my exile may find new trajectories,
Perhaps to be bent to the will
Of ever greater dances.

However so,
I must imagine my place
In this vast reality
To be a heavenly body
Of planetary substance,
A fragment of one whole.

My exile is my freedom,
And my struggle my revolution.
