Full Moon

As I looked up at the full moon tonight 

I wondered if you were looking at it too

And then I began to wonder 

how many other hundreds and thousands of people 

were all looking up at that same moon 

And how many of them were wondering

if someone else was sharing the same moon with them 

And I thought it was a beautiful thing, 

how so many different beings can share 

something so simple and so natural 

So I as thought about the moon 

and you

and what the moon might meant to you

and to everyone else in this world, 

I realized there was actually a pretty good chance 

you were sleeping 

and not sharing the moon with me 

for it was almost three AM 

So I closed my curtains 

crossed the room 

and crawled into my empty bed 

feeling smaller and more alone than I had in a while
