The Moon Reminds Me Poem by Zyw Zywa
The Moon Reminds Me
The moon reminds me
of my dreams, the joy
of singing, the playing
that started everything
No burden on our shoulders
no mutual resentment
The sacred must
has flowed away from us
gone out into the world
compelling and excessive, childishly
demanding that it is time
to grow up
but I already am
and the burden of my life remains
mine, perhaps lighter
if we carry it together
