Watching The Moons
I lie here upon this small hill and watch the clouds drift by the Silver Moon far above me. I think to myself about everything that's happened in my life and I realize that life is good.
I gaze at the stars, and I see how brightly they shine. It inspires me, makes me want to do something. Maybe I'll go off on a voyage somewhere, so I can see the stars we supposedly cannot see here. Maybe I'll paint a picture. Or maybe I'll just lie here and carry on thinking.
I gaze at the Moon. I wonder how it got there, and wonder at how brightly it shines this night. I see a Moon Stone fall from it, streaking across the sky as it plunges into our world. I smile to myself and marvel that something so beautiful had once been so deadly, used as a weapon.
I look at the sky now, and I see how vast it is, so empty… And yet so full. And I think myself how lucky I am to be a sailor and to be able to journey across the skies.
And I think to myself again, life is good…
