The moon is talking to
me
In a quizzical
Scolding voice
Wondering why
I'm here without you
Fiddling in the sand
The crabs pinch as they
skitter by
Making their point
"Wake up!"
This is no place to be
alone
There is a dance to be
done
Light shimmering on the
water
Water lapping the sand
Yet here without a
partner
I can not perform my
piece
Dreams arc the skyline
Reflecting on the water
Where their beauty
derives
From the fact that they
can be seen
By both our eyes
together
Moments flow in endless
succession
No more alike than
snowflakes
So while there will be
others
This one that we should
have together
Is wasted on the moon
and I alone
