Everynight Everywhere
By Amy Ludwig VanDerwater
Inspiration piece

We share
this pocketwatch moon
hanging from a chain of stars.

We are children of
Africa
Asia
South America
North America
Europe
Australia.

And we share
this pocketwatch moon
invisibly holding hands
across dirt
and ocean
and language.

We look up to read its face.
We look down to see its smile
reflected in our streams and ponds.

We are children
who will never meet
but still
we share
this pocketwatch moon
this brightness
this hope.
