The Man in the Moon

 

Early one morning

before the sun started to rise

I peered through the darkness

with droopy lids and sleepy eyes.

 

I gazed out my window

when to my wondering eye

I saw the moon still shining

 lighting up the sky.

 

I was in awe of its beauty

so lovely  full and so serene

and basked in the glow of the

 ethereal soft blue beams.

 

Then I said a prayer

for lasting peace on earth,

while to the man in the moon I gave a wink

and his face lit up with mirth.

 

 

 

Author's Note

As I child I would always try to find the face of the "man in the moon". Of course it was only a fantasy but I would make a wish anyway. The photo was one I captured at 4:00 one morning.

More of us NEED to be children - again.

Sunrise and sunset... moments so many share ...unknowingly

Beautifully said dear poet. I do agree wholeheartedly.
