“Moon”

Poem by Bao Hoang
September 12, 2025

You are the moon

 

Bright and beautiful in the starry night sky

 

Story continues below advertisement

You shine light on the darkness that surrounds me

 

So close yet so far

 

Always there night or day

 

I know that I’ll never be able to reach you,

 

So I decided to love you in the silence of the night

 

You are my moon
