this is yours

This is yours

On this clearest of nights.
Full moon high and bright.
This light from above,
Pulls my eyes to this wondrous site.

An unbroken ring stretching for miles.
Complete and grandiose around this moon.
So silent and still.
My head tilted back, my mind in awe.
I could fall forever,
With this sight in my eyes.
In my peaceful calm.
This is his halo, his secret kept for you.
Some things in life are meant for you alone.
I search. I long., I need.
Someone special, someone dear
To share in this beauty.
I felt so lonely, so selfish.
To have this awe to myself.
But alas I found no one.
Other souls standing around,
Oblivious to my amazement.
Casually conversing over spilt ashes of smoking cigarettes.
And I alone in wonder.
Standing still as the moon
I’m watching.
I search through the phone
For another to share with.
But before my search is through,
The clouds move in and black out my sky.
Almost as if my moon was saying,
This was yours.
This moment to reflect.
You can spend eternity sharing
What you have with the ones you love.
But this night.
This light.
My halo unto you
This is yours.
Cherish this experience
Hold it dear, and never let it go.
