Moon Gazing

Kuu (Moon)
by Lisa Erdman

Softened by a veil
of 11pm clouds
the moon watches over me,
comforting
in its lullaby gaze –
in its muted whiteness.
We are alone together
the moon and I, against the night.


These past evenings have offered me some mysterious views of the moon from my apartment window. I wrote the poem above in celebration of these glimpses into the night sky.
