Next Door Neighbor


A crescent moon
accompanied by a planet
south by southwest
and a sky full of stars
on a crisp, pre-dawn morn.
The moon it dominates
and outshines the others.
Deceiving once again.

Perspective.

The moon so near.
The planet a relative next door neighbor
and the stars
how very distant,
how very far?
My mind cannot comprehend.

In the light of day
soon to arrive,
all will disappear.
The sun rise eclipsing
the night and
my sight of them
but not my thoughts
of you.
