A Sailor at Sea

I am in love with the Moon

Mysterious, Foreign, Beautiful,

yet utterly uninhabitable

And trust me,

I am no astronaut


Why must I love the Moon

When I could never leave the Earth

Gorgeous, green, a place I can call home

But even her mountains reach for the sun


How cruel it is for me to love the Moon

Wasn't my earth enough?

The stars echo back:

Even a sailor at sea searches for land
