The man
is encaged in the white orb,
silent stars for company
and his stone reflection
shimmering on the water,



in the moon
his cries are lost,
echos fading on the wind,
he's held by invisable chains,
a timeless prison, and he



wants out.

I'm totally drawn by your imagination! I like to think ( my  own crazy fantasy) that it's an old woman cooking something to eat when sitting on a bench on the moon, and she's happy because she gets to see the whole earth and everything in it from up there!

You know, this reminds me of a folk tale I heard as a child where the sun was a woman and the moon was a man and they were lovers, but they were seperated by the milky way.
