(61) Man In The Moon

Looking up at the night sky
I see the Moon looking back
There is a face smiling at me
With the stars shining around

The man in the Moon has no troubles
He has no need to pay the bills everyday
He never goes hungry and never worries
At night, when you need him, he's there

The man in the Moon will never judge you
He will listen to the words you share
Never answers you back or puts you down
He always lends a shoulder for you to cry

Looking up at the night sky
I see the Moon looking back
There is a face smiling at me
Now I know I am smiling too

"The man in the Moon has no troubles
He has no need to pay the bills everyday
He never goes hungry and never worries
At night, when you need him, he's there"

I wish that such a paradise was found daily! This stanza made me really float away from my problems and just drift into utter relaxation and calm. This piece is absolutely excellent my friend! Glad i've had the chance to read it Today!

Love the idea and the poem. "The man in the Moon will never judge you"... a bit like those invisible best friends we have when we're young... 'cept they always let us win every game too!

Great write Chris, cool expression of the contant natural backdrop to our ever-changing lives - feel the same about the Sun and the sea in my hometown.
