MOON AND I

I am falling in love with the moon in the skyBut I know I won’t be able to reach it
I want to touch its light
But the light is only to be seen
I want to hug and kiss its rounded shape
But it remains an eternal wish
    For the moon can’t come down to earth
    And I can’t fly there
    But I still can do something
When the full moon decorates the sky
I swim in the lake at night
To touch its silvery reflection
The moon and I are dancing in the water
That’s enough for me
