Oh, sad moon, you float alone in what used to be, your cloud nine, looking down despondently at me. I remember your illuminating glow, so gleeful at twilight. I remember the smile you wore yesterday when billions of your friends shared the sky with you. But tonight the sky is starless and you're now so blue. Smile, moon. Smile again! I'm here.

Congratulations on your win. I love to see the full moon so bright and beautiful. Sometimes it is so very huge and close I feel I could touch it. Have a wonderful day with blessings...............
