The Moon Wish

Jana Topping

I looked up at the moon yesterday
All I saw was your smiling face,
The clouds were dark, a little grey
Brilliant sky, a simple rain.

 I looked up at the moon yesterday
Thinking about time and space,
All the little things, I forgot to say
Memories of you begin the strain.

I looked up at the moon yesterday
The simple glow of your embrace,
Warmth of time I cannot chase
Tears soften my deepest pain.
