At Night

at night
you find yourself
alone with the moon

the moon casts shadows
upon the trees
and roofs

there is always this wish
to grasp
what you cannot touch
what you cannot reach

they say
that is not possible

at night
you keep that wish
you keep that faith

that someday
your wish will become
another reality

then one night
you said goodbye.
