I stare at the giant orb in the sky above me, so beautiful and bright. The stars to its left and to its right twinkle. It’s as if they dance around its radiant glow.

     Oh, how deeply I wish I could be there now, to dance among them. But here I lie, waiting for something to change. It feels like so long ago that my life crashed and fell apart here in this desolate place. It’s only a matter of time now before I disappear, like so many others. Never remembered. Never to shine again.

     The dust is heavy beneath me, so grey and dull. Every day I wonder what it would be like to spend just one day around that blue and green planet. But I cast the thought aside, for here on the moon I stay until I fade away like all the rest.
