Faraway Moon

Faraway Moon,
as a young child
I could see your smile
taste your cheese
glimpse your old man
touch you with my finger

Fascinating Moon,
as a young adult
I could sense your pull
bathe in your romantic beams
pledge my love
reach for the stars!

Faithful Moon,
in my waning years
as life's orbit decays ...
I am in awe of your loyalty
amazed by your true colors
reassured by your changing tides

Continue to reflect life's light,
as other young children
see your beautiful smile
taste your curious cheese
glimpse your kind old man
touch you with their imagination

Continue to inspire us,
as other young people
sense your magnetic pull
luxuriate in your romantic beams
pledge their undying love
explore the universe!

Most Faithful, Fascinating, Faraway Moon!

Line Gauthier August 11, 2020 at 4:19 PM I am also in awe of the moon's loyalty. Last night I saw a moon like I had never seen. It was orange in color and looked like an orange sliver!! It actually looked like it had rind and the inside part was strangely textured. Of course, my camera could not capture the details. Lovely and well deserved tribute to the moon ~ Mark Toney August 11, 2020 at 8:32 PM I want to see that moon! Thanks for the encouraging words, Line. ~Mark
