The Existence of Time and Space: A Poem
January 22, 2021
The stars and moon
My focus shifts from the car radio and wanders up above
My gaze pinpoints to an object in the sky
A familiar round gleaming image reflects into my eyes
My dear friend we meet again
Moon, how are you, I ask out loud
You have looked over me all these years
No matter where I go
I look above
And it is you looking down upon me
The endless summer nights you have watched me experience
Star gazing in the middle of nowhere in Hawaii
Walking on the quiet road in California
Admiring the night sky in London
Driving home on a cold brisk winter night
You have always been there above it all
Visions of New York City on a humid night
Running through the RISD museum while hosting an exhibit for Design the Night
Wandering around the empty rooms of the museum while contemplating the simplicity of life
Indulging in bubble tea in the back of the car
Picturing what life has in store
Downtown walks during the golden hour
Laying down when the day is over
Admiring pink clouds floating by
While envisioning the future in my mind
I often wonder what it’s like from your perspective
If only I could see through your eyes
What all of those wonderful memories of mine
Looked like from the spectacle of the sky
Midnight walks on a summer night
Reminiscing on the grand times
While you have been there for it all
With the moon in the sky, I am never alone
As a matter of fact, I am always home
