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".

Hi Ms. Marugu, Glad I made you laugh. One never knows what the other life forms out there think of us, do we? Blessings and sorry for my late response. I missed it.

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
