the other night i caught a glimpse of the moon...it was just a sliver at the time, but enough to give me hope that it will return to my life.
you see for the past few weeks it seems the moon's been gone. i suppose that occurs in nature every month, the moon cycle and all...but i swear i never noticed it before.
i was running through the meadow one night, no flashlight of course because i'd been distracted, and i just thought to myself 'dang, it's really dark' i mean it's always dark at camp but i had never remembered being outside with no moon. i was looking up at the stars and trying not to trip and thinking, where is the moon? where is my guiding light? and how long has it been away?
the moon is coming back slowly, first a sliver and soon half and then full and such...but i just wonder sometimes if the moon will ever be as bright as the way i remembered it at first...will the moon ever again emit that vibrant light, that glow that makes you want to reach out and hold it so tight and never let it go.
i should've paid more attention to it as it slipped through my fingertips, should've noticed it's time in the sky shrinking away ever so slightly...but i guess i was too busy.
that's just how it is isn't it? you stay inside a few nights and the moon disappears, and then by the time you notice it's too late, the moon's gone, and yes it will be back again, but you never really got to see it go...and it's your own fault for neglect
i just dont' know what happened, i just didn't see it coming...it's like i don't know the moon anymore-changedfish
