He held me, up to the sky. Us both yelling , the moon so high.

“Hello Moon.” It bright and full, our hearts beaming, and now you're gone

Whispering, Listening to hear, that one last call, “Hello Moon”?

This is written in a Korean poetic form called sijo. I wrote this sijo about my grandpa and how he passed away from cancer. Every night when we went to see him when I was young he would hold me high up in the sky and we would gaze at the moon. The moon was our bond and now that he is gone I feel like that's the only thing I have left of him. This sijo is very important to me showing the connection that we both had with each other.
