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
