Gazing at the moon through the trees

 I have often wondered if she can see the same moon as me.

Full and glowing in the night sky making the darkness disappears for some time.

We have never talked about the moon and

I'm not sure if the moon is what she really wants to see.

But what I do know is the moon is such an escape for me

That I find it hard not to believe that she chases the moon like me.

If I look close enough I can almost see her standing and staring just like me

Because of the dark she is a bright silhouette that glows in the moons shadow

The shadow she casts is still easy to see

For her beauty is not lost just a little far from me.

When I stretch my hands to touch the moon is she trying to do the same thing?

Will tonight be the night that I’m able to hold it in my arms or pull it down just for awhile?

Seeing the moon makes me want to say "Good Night Moon" hush.....

Comforting words from a Childs book I love to recall

 Gives me comfort from the world--

Something tells me she's the same way and

 If I know her I bet she whispers the same

“Good Night Moon" hush.....

Every time I say good night to her I always say

“I love you from here to there across the moon and back and then around again"

 In hopes she knows that as long and as high as the moon shines will be the times

I pray I "see" her staring at the same moon as me.
