The unexpected moon
is a gift to delight children
looking up at something new
in a place it shouldn’t be:
“Look,” says the Universe—
“you thought you knew, but
look again!” And so we do,
we do, we do, over and over
now looking past the moon
for another unexpected piece,
out of place, hidden just for us.
We will delight to find it:
for we are children, all of us
compared to the ages spent
hiding pieces of the universe
in just these certain ways—and
forever such shall we remain.
