Regaled from Afar (Girl With Her Tongue Out)

Look! Look, it's almost there! That cloud is almost out of the way and the moon is nearly visible from behind it... oh, I do hope it comes soon. I mean, today wasn't an easy day. It was like a bad day. It was a day that I'll probably never forget. But right now is still today, right now it is! It doesn't matter that the hand on the clock says this day is past. It hasn't. As long as the moon can be seen fully, I mean without clouds, soon. Soon. Oh, but is any day an easy day? I mean, how can a day, a full cycle of the moon and stars and sun be easy? Can it be difficult, though? 'Never' is such a long word. I mean, it's only four letters and it doesn't take very long to say, but it's a long word.  It means a very long time, and longer a time than anyone- oh! Look at that cloud! Look, oh no, I hope it doesn't... but it's such a nice cloud, and pure, so pure and so faraway that I don't think the tallest tree in the world could tickle its belly, even if it stretched out its top branches as far as it could... the tallest building, then? It wouldn't be an easy day, oh no it wouldn't. But... would that make it a difficult day? Would a day of reaching that far be a difficult day? And the moon, it's even farther away- how far is it now? What would that be like? Oh wait, does 'never' have five letters? It sounds difficult to spell, and a long, long time.

What would it be like to lay a bare hand on that faraway moon in the sky?

I loved when you read this aloud. You are such a talented young man.

errors: even if it stretched out it tops branches... its?
how can a day, a fully cycle... full?
