Tonight, Tonight – Poetry by Michael Lee Johnson, Illinois

LITTERATEUR REDEFINING WORLD MAGAZINE, AUGUST 2026

Tonight, I am the moon’s envoy,
bare feet awash in silver.

Longing settles in me—
spark or ember, I remain.

Thunder soft as cat paws,
storms now gentle memory.

I flutter, no longer afraid,
teaching darkness to move gently.

Tonight, I find comfort
in the moon’s borrowed light,
trusting dawn will come.
