My Moon is the story of an encounter, but not only that

I wrote this poem as a metaphor for all those moments in life when we feel a little lost, when we feel like we're moving through the dark, sometimes wanting to turn back, but where, holding on to our dreams, we find the strength to keep going anyway…

Until the moment when...

I met him on a hot summer night,

I was lost, searching for answers that I couldn’t find

The air was thick, suffocating

In my heart, on my shoulders, the weight of life was far too heavy

Will I ever be able to find light in the dark?

I kept walking, wondering, hoping...

It sometimes just takes one single turn to change a whole life,

I knew it. I needed it.

So I left the long, straight, boring road I've always been walking on and made a turn, not knowing where it would take me,

Not knowing if I would ever be able to step back and find this good old safe path of mine that I
knew by heart

My steps were hesitant,

But the pain in my heart was persistent, so I kept going.

My doubts felt overwhelming,

Should I run away and stop dreaming of a change?

I was so scared...

I closed my eyes and found the strength to take a few more steps in that new direction that looked like a fairy tale to me.

Just a few steps...

And there he was,

Shining so bright that I wasn't able to look at him at first,

Even breathing became arduous,

But for once in a very long time,

My heart felt light and I smiled for no reason.

My mind told me to leave...

My soul told me to stay...

But I knew it was too late, he had already taken control of me

And all I was able to do was stay... and look at him again, and again, and again...

Every second felt like eternity as I was filling my lungs with air,

Filling my heart with joy,

Filling my eyes with ... him.

Every little piece of my heart, body and soul was irresistibly attracted to his surreal beauty.

I wanted to see more of him.

He made me feel safe like I had never felt before,

Like he had the power to stop time and make this moment last forever.

I wanted nothing more than to spend eternity by his side.

Was he the answer I've been looking for?

I wasn't able to think, but I felt it deep inside of me.

I felt his light and that was more than enough for me to surrender to him,

and from this moment on, I knew I would be able to cross the universe for him.

Every second with him became precious,

He was worth every single turn I had to make.

Attractive, magnetic, wonderfully beautiful...

He...

Is my Moon.🌕❤️
