The moon,
My only friend
Watches over me,
Through despair,
Through the descent,
You remind me how large the universe is,
With galaxies, asteroids,
Jupiter and billions upon billions of stars,
Forever is hard to comprehend
But somehow it lends hope
To my small existence,
For we are grains of sand
Descending from the hourglass,
Molecules dancing and colliding in time,
Is anybody up there?
Or is it just you,
My moon,
Keeping watch over me?
Trying to be a sandcastle
In the midst of a hurricane.
