Last night

I saw the thin moon again

by an occasional glimpse

 

so thin, like my mom's paper cutting

sticking on my window, flat

so faint, like a casual stroke, lightly

brushing over the sky, a bit yellow

so obscure, as if a street lamp

blending into city lights, got lost

 

Isn't it strange

every time I looked

through my window

had only seen this moon, thin and faint?

 

where is that moon, full and bright, bringing

 

fantasies to children

aspirations to the young

peace to the aged

 

muses to poets

visions to prophets

dreams to the ordinary

  

soul to body

hope to people, and

beauty to the world?
