Tonight...
I spoke to the Moon.
I told him that my heart was so full...
so full...
full...
full of loss...of words...
in amazement...
at the loss of respect...
I was seeing...
from others...for others...
in need of fullness.
Without thought of self only...
but of time...
time...
moments of importance to others.
In amazement...
I was lost...
at thoughts that ones own moments...
important...
should be overshadowed...
by lack of reverence...
for another's soul.
I spoke to the Moon...
about my search for light...
within...
ever-present...
perpetual...
ambient flame.
The Moon spoke to me.
"Do you not see my light this evening?"
I apologized...
shook his hand...
and saw the aura of myself...
in the full...
star cast...
fated skies of night.

This poem had an unexpected ending! I enjoyed it very much! This is the part I loved the most: moments of importance to others. In amazement…I was lost…at thoughts that ones own moments…important…
should be overshadowed...by lack of reverence…for another’s soul. It reminds me of when I lost my Mom and people would say, Oh, I'm so sorry but then quickly dive into a story about a cool place they visited, how much fun they had...and they were clueless that I myself felt like I was dying inside. Great poem!
Your friend,
