I will never be an astronaut who travels into space,
But if I had a rocket ship, I would go to a special place.
I would fly to the moon as fast as I could go,
I would land on its surface, but then I would take it slow.
I would want to know the moon intimately in my heart,
Step-by-step, I would explore each part.
But I realize that I don’t have to be an astronaut to go to the moon,
I can simply close my eyes, and I will be there soon.
I will dream about it’s beautiful face,
And even during my sleep, my heart will race.
But dreams are meant to be larger than belief,
They are gifts from above that cannot be stolen by the craftiest thief.
They are mine to behold in all their amazing glory,
They are my life, composed by sleep into a beautiful story.
So in this dream, I shall take a palette of colors and a brush,
Slowly I will paint the moon without any rush.
I will show the moon something it has never known,
I will paint it beautiful colors of every tone.
I will give it trees and a crystal blue stream,
I can do what I want, because it is my dream.
I will paint flowers and plants of every kind,
If the moon can think, my art will blow its mind.
But as I ponder what I desire,
In me is rising a different fire.
I don’t need to paint the moon today,
Because it is already beautiful in its own special way.
If I painted it with purple and bright pink,
The way I know the moon inside of me would sink.
The colors of the moon aren’t about a certain hue,
It’s about the color that it puts inside you.
The moon will always be special to me,
The way it sits there in space makes me feel free.
I want to look at it during the pitch black night,
To me, this is pure delight.
So I must pinch myself so that I will wake,
Because if I continue to paint the moon, it will seem fake.
I shall wake up and walk out on to the deck,
I will lift my eyes at the sky and enjoy that beautiful speck.
It belongs to me until it fades into the morning light,
But we will meet once again tomorrow night.
You are mine always, and I am forever yours,
I will enjoy you as I take walks along the sandy shores.
I will forever hold you close to me,
And every night your beauty I shall see.
Thank you moon for being you,
And forever and always I will be true.
