"envy is a waste of time"

Imagine what life could be

if we walked among the old gods

and traversed the spiral staircase

they provided beneath the stars-

imagine how loved

you would be if only

you understood

the way that the moon differs

from the world so much

and yet the way

that she still loves

each and every one

because envy is a waste of time

in her eyes

and maybe it should be

in yours too

because you hold the power in your hands-

a glowing orb of light and life-

you fade away and drift

into a life of dark

when everything could have been

bright and illuminated

like the radiant soul I know you are.
