There is a sound the moon makes when it takes up a fool's eyes.
It is louder than a train wreck, yet quieter than a cry.
There is a sound the moon makes when it is in a child's view.
It is louder than a herd of elephants, yet smoother than a flute.
There is a sound the moon makes when it fills a lover's sky.
It is louder than Beethoven, yet softer than a sigh.
Luna thoughts that vast expanse of moon when it's full - very haunting.

Hi Carrie, very nice, for some reason it reminds me of these Pink Floyd lyrics:
ReplyDeleteAnd when the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll meet you on the dark side of the moon
Hey Bob, thank you for reading it...I love Pink Floyd...:-)
