Moon Song

I looked into the eyes of the moon
and he smiled and said,
go soon,
you’ll never,
won’t ever,
together
again be.

I stood there cold, mind unfolded
to endless whys,
uncertain sighs.
I must go,
I know,
whenever
together
can be again.

The moon looked back reflecting thoughts
and winked his eye
when spotlights caught.
So go,
you know,
if ever
together
is to be.
