SONNET XXVIII - REFLECTIONS

I lay awake beneath the lonely moon,
my mind astir with worries of my life.
And as time passed, I watched my cares balloon
to all the world, lost in a sea of strife
What can I do, O Moon, for this dark world?
There's so much pain! I'm just one little guy!
Then suddenly, the answer was unfurled.
From up above, the moon gave me reply.
"Hey, little friend, there's something you should know.
Without the sun, I'm just an old grey stone.
Don't be decieved. I borrowed this sweet glow.
I'm only dust, without light of my own.
   And so are you. When darkest night descends,
   just share some light with all your hurting friends."
