The Moon And I Poem by Ravinder Kumar Soni

Why not invite the Moon to visit me,
Have a close look at me,
Notice things I haven't in my mirror.
For long hours I have stood at the door,
At the windows, gazing at the Moon,
A total stranger it seems to me.
What attracts me to it I do not know,
Is the Moon attracted by me,
Does it understand me?
I would like to know.
I will never know.
Even after I am dead and gone
The Moon will continue to hang in the sky
And shine as brightly as before,
It will have no memories of me.
It will soon find another me gazing at it
And writing melancholy poems
Of failed love and life
The way I do.
