a wish
I pulled from the moon
an invisible light
sliding down my mind
a piece of the night
cut me with the bitter blades of what
I thought was my blue heart
perched upon undemanding dreams
I settled into nothing
hoping for everything
untamed is the symmetry of my mind’s tigers
I tossed them away into the sea
knowing they would come back
to haunt me
to beat me against myself
the me that I have always known
but never tried to find
a wish
I sent to the stars
I bid myself farewell
Patchwork Poetry - I did make two small change to the other poet's line - 'cut me' instead of 'cut you' and "my mind’s tigers" instead of "our mind’s tigers."
Thanks to these poets for letting me borrow their words: Lirone, Gautami, Paisley and Writerwoman.
A Blue Heart

Love the way you started this one. Pulling a wish from the moon- that is fantastic imagery.

Saying what we think gives us a wider conversational range than saying what we know.
