Alone On The Moon

       Sometimes

       I feel like I’m alone on the moon
                    I can still see the world but I can’t touch it
                              and it’s difficult to breathe

       Beauty abides, yet peerless to memory
                     a newfound sort of loneliness  
              and then there is the piercing sound of nothing

       It’s white hot bright yet freezing cold
                  I’m tired but I can sleep 
                             and time has disappeared

       I don’t feel as though I’ll die
                      yet life is so different, it’s a kind of death
                                     and I wonder, 

                                       everything

Tom Woody Date: 6/18/2024 9:17:00 AM What you need is a moon chick. Now I know what you're thinking: But Woody, they've found no evidence of even microscopic life on the moon much less an alien moon gal. I'm guessing all the good stuff is on the dark side. Feeling adventurous? Login to Reply Mike Gentile Date: 6/18/2024 9:43:00 AM Always Tom, what is life without an adventure!! Thank you!!
