The Boy and The Moon

Remember the Moon - painting by Cindy Sullivan

The multitude of stars is the late night’s light
alone above a cliff before the moon sets
the perfect luminescence the unpolished glow
hanging in the sky is my mind
- Han Shan (Cold Mountain)

Thinking about Cold Mountain and the moon, I wrote this poem…

The boy looked
into the moon
the wind
the hum of insects
the noise of water
the river
Awake
“I’ll remember”
The boy walked home
- Cindy Sullivan
