I'm eagerly awaiting your return

The moon leapt above the tops of the trees

Its orange orb was enormous

it was enormous...

Years later

I still could see that wheel of a moon in my mind

It was the kind of moon

the kind of moonlight

that can appear only once in a lifetime

all the moons I saw afterward were pallid reproductions...

I'm eagerly awaiting your return.
