I have seen this before
I have seen this before
In a book I suppose
The moon
at full
Reflected off a silk sheet
of indigo water
Nightfall has been its companion
for centuries
And you see
the same moon
under the same sky
in the same spot
way
way
way
up there
as everyone else in the world
except the difference is I
I see it as a beautiful song
that rises higher
and higher
and lulls me to sleep
like my father did when I was
just as small as the moon looks tonight
way
way
way
up there
Sitting still
Waiting for nightfall
to show its reflection
off pier 187
as my feet dangle
as I sip from the steaming cup
that warms my chapped palms
It is something I have seen before
In a book
I suppose
