A MOONLIGHT RELIEF

”On a quiet night, I saw the moonlight “

Painting(?)by Isao Tomoda

I don't know nothing it at all. It's about time, the
shadows in the always memory in your eyes, the
perhaps of the almost frozen smile.

Where have we met as the daylight forgot to shine?
A stolen daydream, but forever? How can I say
this so certainly? A sudden reassurance?

You're awake but not aware of your selfpromissed
future. It's so behind. We let yourself, we let you
deep into sleep.

Because there's the night, the relief and the moon
instead. But always ahead, not afterwards. A long
longed look, in the book of the forgiving notice –
