A single set of lunar footsteps

A Poem by Thorn
"

A poem by Thorn! Yeah!! Formerly titled "Lunar footsteps"

"

Like a fool,
I'm walking on the moon.
No-one around to tell me what to do.
Like a fool,
I'm watching the sun rise,
Over golden dust and lunar seas.
Like a fool,
I'm doing as I please.
And I thought you'd be here too.

Still; enjoy!

After reading this, I think I need to trash all my 3 minuters ... is that a word even? lol.. I like it.. it's light and heavy at the same time. It invokes a scene of a person in a space suite bouncing around on the lunar surface.. giggling.. but then turning around to share the giggles... then the giggles turning to tears when the astronaut sees she is alone.. It's wonderful! Keep writing and I will keep reading!

No one is a fool as long as there are enjoying their life to the fullest! We should all feel free to live life to the happiness degree possible! Keep doing as you please, and the one that is truly for you will be there. Let me know about this experiment! ~ Jude :-)

Happy day!

I enjoy pieces that just "stumble" out of us and present themselves for whatever they are. I also enjoy minimalistic pieces and this one left me thinking about loneliness and a little regret. Nicely done! Enjoy the day with sunny & prosperous smiles to share ;-)

I like this, it seems to be about you daring to stand out. You're indifferent, you don't care what others think of you. Why not dare to be different?
The repetition of "Like a fool" is somewhat amusing, like you're giddy about "walking on the moon". Sarcastic in a way.
Brilliant.

this was not bad at all. I would remove the repeatyness of Like A fool. the first time it appeared was magical after that, there is no need to remind me you're a fool, especially in such a short piece
