So alone and so faraway

A warm and breezy night

Thousands of miles away

Several decades ago

I lay on my bed and looked at the sky

I could see the full moon

So big and beautiful

So near, I could nearly touch it

Surrounded by countless stars

The star laden sky bent down

Moonlight gently kissed my forehead

I smiled at the moon

It smiled back with delight

My eyelids heavy with sleep

I slept peacefully in the soft moonlight

With the moon watching over me

From the warmth of my bedroom

I looked through the double glazed window

I could see the full moon

Tangled in leafless branches of a solitary tree

The moon was so desolate 

So far away

Lonely in a starless sky

So alone and so faraway
