I am aware, as I stare into space
That she’s looking up with that gentle face
Wishing some sort of impossible wish
As I lay here bathing in anguish
I know she wishes me to return home
It’s been far too long since I’ve roamed
I explored the stars, navigated the galaxies
It wasn’t all with no difficulties
Stars shot at me and I missed her more
These hands and feet wandered and now are sore
I’d like to see the beach and the trees
The flowers, butterflies and the bees
I do miss her gentleness, her sweet caress
Her smile, her eyes together with that lovely dress
I miss her so, I’ve been alone too long
Time to go back where I belong
Wait for me like you’ve been waiting all these years
Girl on Earth, I shall wipe away those tears
I made this poem in response to a previous poem I created titled, The Man on the Moon, back in June 2012. I know, why did it take so long? I ask myself the same question. Here’s the link: https://mariamikayla.wordpress.com/2012/06/16/the-man-on-the-moon/
