Moon Watcher

    I am a moon watcher.
As a child I believed there was a
"the man in the moon".


I love the idea that when
separated from those you love,
you need only look up into
 the gentle glow of the moon and
their absence seems a little less distant.


I remember watching the moon landing, and
thinking one day we might all have the chance
to visit this far away place.


Now I am content just knowing
there is an anchor in the sky holding us all together.


I hope you had a chance to look up
and see the super moon,
it was amazing.

  1. Lovely thoughts! However, are you saying there really isn't a "man in the moon"?? Oh no!

    Best,

  2. My husband is an astronomer so we often look at the night sky. Our children still talk about watching the eclipse of the sun on Christmas Day. The wonder and awe far outweighing the gifts that year. Priceless.

  4. I believed that ,too. In my Dad's letters during World War II to my Mom he would tell her to go outside and they would be standing under the same moon.
