       But What About The Moon?

 

What does the moon do? When the sun

takes over. Does it sleep in a house, with

trees and clovers?

 

Is it lonely for sunlight? Like I am in my bed.

Is there something we can do? Something

different instead?

 

The moon takes a break, giving the sun it's

turn. It rests, while it shines bright. It’s

turn to burn.

 

But what about the moon? Where does she go?

I don’t think its fare, does the whole world know?

 

Maybe they can share it, the sky is real big, one on

the right side, and the left of my head.

 

Ask her mom, tell her its o.k., that the moon

comes out too, they can share the day.

 

I think it could work, if they played well together,

talk to her mom, and make it all better.

Where indeed does the moon go? I do wonder myself sometimes...Great write.

One has to wonder if this is perhaps the same type of question that ran through Galileo's mind or, for that matter, any of the other great "thinkers" of long ago...

This is magical Yvette.
Such complex thoughts... you capture them so beautifully.
wow if we could just bottle this purity of thought and apply it to all aspects of life
...From the mouths of babes,
more intelligence and integrity than you'll get from most adults ;)

I see the beauty of a child's open , innocent mind in this piece. Thank you for sharing.
