hard times make you soft

hard times
make you soft

when ice has cracked you
long and deep enough

stone upon stone
blossoming into dust

the moon leans down
to its reflection

brushing its shadow
on the soft silver of your face

"hard times make you soft" if you let them, if you allow yourself to still feel that tender gesture of the moon. What a lovely way to express that... and all in the soft shadow of delicate purple pom-poms! Very nice.
