Tonight for the first time, I saw the moon from high above the clouds,
just as we were flying into twilight.
The merging of lavender, blue and a distinct shade of purple enchanted me into a mesmerizing trance.
You could say I was starstruck... no - moonstruck by the clear white light it radiated, reflecting in my eyes.
The purest moonbeams in the sky.
As the night grew darker and I continued to be astounded by moonlight
I took my pen out to write down a free flow of words it inspired
Usually, when I've looked at the moon, I remember forgotten lovers and funny friends
men with a streak of romance and women with dreams in the mirrors of their souls
The wholesome moon has somehow always made me reminiscent of people I've surrounded myself with
or loved... in different degrees
But tonight, I look into the dark clear night sky and think of no one.
Not because there's no one I'm in love with,
but because I am content solitary on a journey back from the other side of the world
Returning home after thirty days of missing people I want to, choose to be near and close to
Tonight, I am satisfied to be alone
In a way that satiates me and makes me confident and complete
After a lifetime of craving this comfort
The evening star silently shining nearby reminds me that
Even though I've chosen a life that requires this solitude...
There always will be light shining on me, making my soul beautiful.
