Jeff Morehead Poet Rhyme

Moon and Stars

Moon & Stars

The moon and stars are in the sky,
Shining brightly for passers by.
And from his room he sees its glow,
Intriguing his mind to want to know.
Just what lights those big old stars?
And the distance to the moon, just how far?
Do they float in the weightless air?
And do they sway from here and there?
Do cows really jump over the moon?
And why can’t you see it in the afternoon?
Where does the sun go when it’s dark?
And why do dogs at a full moon bark?
Why does the moon take different shapes?
Are shooting stars just trying to escape?
“Can I travel to the moon?”
“Cause I’ll be getting bigger soon.”
~
I see such wonder in his eyes,
As if his heart was still in the sky.
His little mind just wants to know,
And when he’s satisfied, off to sleep he’ll go.
