Look To The Moon Poem by Jim Yerman

When her friend told her of her loneliness she answered, "Sometimes I am lonely too.
But when I'm feeling lonely this is what I do."

"When I'm overcome with loneliness…when I feel marooned
when I'm feeling my darkest…I smile at the moon."

"And I think of all the people…all the other people who…
are also looking up…and smiling at her too."

"And I see upon her surface…all the people I have known…
and I think of all the people who love me
and I know I'm not alone."
