Tracing Fault Lines
Cracks and Crevices I remember the night, The moon descended from the sky, We quickened our steps, To witness it passing by! You knew I was all starry-eyed, How I loved its flawless flaws, It always taught me how, Broken things deserve an applause ! Its radiance was your sheen, It was faraway, but near,like you, The moonlight that put me to sleep, Gentleness, from you it drew ! That spectacle was just an excuse because, When we stood in the silver night's hue, You searched for flaws in your crevices, But I was agape at the moonlight, shining through you !
