Said the Moon to the Earth (Part 3)

11:35 p.m. to 12:58 a.m.

This is the third poem in the Sun and Moon™ poetry series and a response to the second poem in the series.

From a distance, I look at you
and your activities, yet you do not see me
in your busyness during the day,
when you're wide awake or out to play,
when you're sitting down or standing tall.

But when I rise, you fall
asleep, and so I watch you from above
and wonder to myself if
you sleeping is really what I see,
or if you're sleepless tonight,
looking up at me.

I dwell hereon, here at your side.
Behind the clouds, at day I hide.
Look up at me, look up at night.
You'll find your moon, your satellite.
