moonlit musing

oh silver moon
shining in the night sky,
when i looked up at you today
the reason for your allure
suddenly dawned on me.

why countless couples
through countless ages
have looked up at you
with that wistful longing
plucking at their heart strings.

its simply the idea that
when one is looking at you
someone close to the heart
but far apart in distance
can be doing the same thing.

you are the medium which
joins them in their acts
and unites them in their thoughts,
you are the bridge that spans
the space between distant souls.
