I have noticed now so more than ever

That hidden behind the illuminating moon

Is a dark side we will never see.

The man I saw as a father

Whose works I enjoyed 

Through the stages of my life.

Never did I know I would relate to him

As much as I do.

The Actor

The Comedian

The Captain

Behind all the titles

A Man.

The thoughts that plague my mind

Painted and made-up 

With a smile and joke

I realize now more than ever

That him and I shared the light side of the moon.

I can't help but wonder

If I too will be possessed

To travel

To the dark half of my existence.
