Of course there is salvage.
I like your rhymes but scanning the meter seems inconsistent if you were trying for meter.

Worth continued work.
(Bloomer)
Light of night spills over evergreen
and into me; had to read this line few times to see if I liked it. I do. Its odd to have light spill over green and saves from cliche
silver strands swirl beneath my skin.
A lunar hum speaks to me
in dreams now, this is an awkard point, moon noise? Plus are you awake?
in visions of what’s always been.
Mapping patterns into my mind,
behind my eyes,
and beneath the tides.
I reach for her now in the night, the her is unclear ... Moon? A person? Purposely unclear?
as leaves of great blooming things
turn towards the sun of meadows bright. I agree with Mercedes, day and night mixed up
As by dark’s descent, my petals unfold
giving way to her heavy pull,
the light of her; her steady glow.
