Close Your Eyes and Count to Ten
Ready or not
the moon won’t give up
It turns on its side
and slips down behind
clouds drawn like drapes
in a hide-and-seek sky

This is a beautifully poetic reminder: “the moon won’t give up” on us, even when we give up on everything else.

Very nice poem, that old moon keeps hiding but I’m keep seeking.
