I forget to look at the moon

I forget to look at the moon.
I don't know why.
It's one of the most beautiful
Sights known to mankind.
Loaded with all that possibility
That we experienced from that first giant step.

The moon is not just what the astronomers tell us.
The moon is for lovers and hopeless dreamers.
The moon is a foretelling of events for some.
The moon is mysterious and it makes the people of the Earth
Feel something otherworldly
Although it is smack dab in our world.
The only world we know or profess to know.

Artists use the moon for inspiration.
From Shakespeare to what's his name.
The moon is not made of green cheese.
The moon is really amazing and everyone
On this crazy planet can look at it
And wonder and dream and hope.

The moon isn't going anywhere.
Although it is beautiful and amazing,
We can gaze at it any time we want.
It costs nothing yet means so much.
Why do I forget to look at the moon?
