Missing

sad moon drifts behind
insubstantial clouds
wants to hide away

old woman looks up
wonders if he sees it too
hopes their gazes touch

moonlight spills upon
diverse planes of existence
somewhere...here and now

adrift on two worlds
cosmic veil separates them
neither here nor there

Mother Moon knows I miss him...
does he know I miss him too?
