Edge of the Moon

Sat on the edge of the moon 
she gazed at the stars
how much she missed flowers
and trees
their bark that surrounds
their roots that support
the leaves that dance on their edges in the wind

This dusty grey landscape was an escape at first
but quickly became a prison
all she ran away from
felt worthy of leaving once
now it seemed like home 
left behind
