Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

Often when I see the moon high in the sky,

I am reminded of a balmy night in Baltimore City,

when I was 19 or 20,

and feeling very pleased with myself,

sitting on the stoop of my very first apartment building.

The moon was shining above the tall buildings and trees surrounding me,

keeping me company like an old friend.

How many moons since then,

and still my good friend?
