Blood Moon

By ForestDark

The blood moon rose
and in that red haze
waited for an offering,
while I,
bare handed and expecting a miracle,
stood under this star
and gave one.

I had only this to give,
(with one good hand)
the other being crossed
and torn.

My word is good
fair moon,
and the miracle
I waited for,
long gone.

    ...nice...miracles are fleeting & minimal, & do not compensate for the sacrifies we make...

    So true about those sacrifices. It was a big one I made, but in the end....so worth it.
