the moon

the moon shimmers in the night sky like a rain drop in the suns light
it sits perfectly in the sky like a perfect dream that can just be thought of.
All alone it sits there surrounded by stars that are millions of miles away
we all look to it for the reinsurance that it provides
no one knows why we all look to it;
is it for its beauty, is it sheer amazement that we can see something so large and powerful so close to use
that we could almost touch it or is it for all the goodness that we have given it hoping that it will return the favor.
some of use let our imagination run there just to see the view of our wondrous planet and all the planets that are close by.
its constant change in shape that tells us all so much about our time on this planet and all of what we have to live on it for.
