Wonderful Moon

clip. clop. clip. clop. 
A girl looks up at the moon
from her muddy horse
as she travels home

soft music plays
as a young boy
stares through the skylight
at the bright moon overhead

wind whispers sadly
as a girl lays down in the grass
watching the moon
with tears in her eyes

a girl sits on the windowsill
of a mud-and-sticks hut
and watches the bright moon
not far from her touch

"I am not the only one,"
whispers a little boy
grasping his mothers hand,
"Who sees this wonderful moon."
