Luminary Presence

The winter’s moon, so bright with glow It sits there in the sky Upon the surface, is a face Complete with nose and eyes If you look close, you just may see A man with broadened smile That resides up there, watching us Despite the many miles He’s patient, there, so far above As he takes in earthly view Offering then his nighttime light Meant for me and you So, if by chance you one night see The man there in the moon Give him a wave to let him know That you can see him too

I remember, as a kid, sitting out in the backyard with my dad looking at the man in the moon. Like your great poem, I waved at him. Love, daver

Remember the opening of Jackie Gleason and the Honeymooners. That popped into my head (lots of space there) when I read this one. Have a great day. Vince
