Whisper

Like a whisper in the sky

I see the moon
on sunny days

Like a whisper in the sky

Hiding behind a blue ocean

Have you ever dreamt of walking barefoot on moon dust?

Looking for an oasis that reflects the stars?

We all feel the warmth of the same star

And wade in the tides of the moon

Like parents in the sky
Never scolding
Never leaving us.

Always shining
Always glowing

Even behind clouds
Even when
we can no longer
see them.

A poem by Pemba Umoja
