To My Dear Friend, the Moon
You understand me.
You see me in a way that no one else does.
You listen to my sad songs and flawed poetry,
And when water pours from the weight of my heart,
You’re always there to comfort me.
You sit there silently,
Looking down on me from up above.
It must be so lonely up there…
I promise I’ll visit you again
When the sun falls and the streets begin to quiet,
When the birds stop chirping
And the crickets’ sweet song fills the cool night air.
I’ll visit again,
So that way we can both have a friend in our loneliness.
Your dear friend,
Jeremiah
