"A broken piece of moon hung in the sky." From 11/22/63 by Steven King
My mom always used to say that her Grandmother always saw a little boy and a little girl sharing a kiss.
My dad always used to say that he had been trimming his toe nails and one flew high in the sky.
My sister and I were always fascinated by the one seen in mountain skies.
I felt the need to tattoo a version of one on my body.
James Taylor asked if you could feel it.
It is the subject of a final goodnight in that book I love.
I always perk up when that glowing lune is mentioned in text, song or conversation. I am not sure what exactly I am drawn to, but I always think I will see that little boy and little girl.
I have always thought the moon was miraculous. When I was travelling in high school and college, my dad used to tell me that if I got lonely, to look in the sky. The moon I was seeing wherever in the world I was, was the same moon he was seeing right there at home. That always gave me lots of comfort.
