“You’ll understand when you’re older”
His voice, soothing aching hearts
Calming the mind
Of the young child
Emerald Isle eyes
Opening wide to the possibilities
That
Even in darkness
The moon shines brightly
Reflecting sunlight
A reminder of
When
The stars were hung in the sky just for her
Long before the battle scars were won
Persisting long past closing time
And the locking of the universe
Behind her as she leaves
