I think of the moon as our planet's twin,
 
perhaps our lost sibling, never apart and
 
never together. How long will we follow her?
 
How long has she been watching us?
 

 
I also think of this poem when I look at her
 
looking at me:
 

 
"...gaze at the moon ocean marking the face.
 
In some cases the moon is you. In any case,
 
the moon."
