too far to reach
too close it burns,
yet as the skies
changes to its darkest color,
nothing seems to change.

Poor beautiful thing,
please,
look up to the sky
and see
how much
the moon loves you
please, I beg you,
no other creature
in this cruel world
would dare to dislike you.

Know that this universe
needs you,
know that you need yourself
more
than any body.
