The Moon

So today celebrates the

40th Anniversary

of mans first steps on the moon.

An Amazing feat, indeed!..

But please forgive me,

I'm not the scientific type

who has the need to

travel through our solar system

to step foot on the fifth largest planet

which has no breathable air

and leaves you feeling weightless

from lack of gravity.

That's what the deep end of the pool is for.

.

I am, however, all for celebrating the moon.

.

The Man *In* The Moon

still winks at me from time to time,

He still listens to all my wishes and dreams,

and keeps my darkest secrets.

He's even been witness to the making,

and a key ingredient

of some of my greatest memories.

.

We've been through a lot together

these 37 years;

my life, the moon and I.

I feel a strange likeness to him

Sometimes full of light

and other days barely able to shine.

People have walked all over me at times too,

but we're still making history,

spreading light, granting wishes,

and smiling at the planet.

We've drifted,

but we're rotating

in perfect synchronicity

round the same Sun.

Goodnight, Moon.
