I went out searching for the moon yesterday,
and it only peeked through the clouds
as if to let me know "Yes, I am in fact here,"
and then chose to stay behind dark clouds
alluding me seemingly on purpose.
Those peek-a-boo moments delighted me
and made me laugh. The world is a funny
thing. People are similar. I made myself
satisfied. Finally, I left...
Tonight, the brightness from my window
hit my closed eyelids as I prepared to sleep.
I went to the window and opened the blinds
and there he was in bright full glory! The moon!
He came this time to me. To gloat
perhaps of his beauty. And also, to prove
he could find me, if he wanted to.
I left him in view and climbed into bed, closing
my eyes with the moonshine pouring over my face.
I am delighted and I laugh. The world is a
funny thing. People are similar.
Dear moon, find me, if and when you want to. I
will always open my blinds for you and bask in
your light.
