Notes About The Poem

Mindful eye

and when i wander through the night
the moon follows 
staring without a word

as if it knows
something it wants to share
yet hovers hesitating

millenia of good and bad
love and hate peace and war
it's seen it all

still in silence and without judgment
it watches over life as it unfolds
mindless of lessons from the past

Yes! Yes! I also feel the moon following me at night AND staring at me, as if it knows my deepest thoughts and 'owns me.' Resonates totally with me, Line. Thank you
