Humanity honey

Windows open wide in the middle of the night, inhaling the brisk air, soaking up some moon light. It's cracks and craters were calling to me, so I pulled out a telescope to see what I might see.. There was a man in the moon clearly laughing with glee.. I said, "dear sir, what on earth is so funny?" He winked and signed back "humanity honey".

Dear Nancy, what a delightful ode to the whimsy of the night sky. Your scenes of gazing at the moon through an open window evokes a sense of wonder and connection to the cosmos. The playful interaction with the "man in the moon" adds a touch of magic, showing us to find joy in the mysteries of life. Nancy poem captures the beauty of simple moments infused with imagination. - Blessings, Daniel

Cute moon poem. I'll bet he spends more time crying than laughing though
