i sent a letter to the moon
it was written in the sky
i hung my hopes on stars
but i never got a reply

it was a languange of almosts,
of pauses too long and smiles too fly
of glances that fall like thin paper
of gestures too subtle to the eye

i sent a letter to the moon
it was written in the sky
the words were too faint to follow
but sharp enough to those who'd try
