I Sang

I Sang - meaning Summary

Solace in a Witness

A speaker addresses an absent listener, confessing that their song reached only the moon, which alone remembers and responds with gentleness. The poem frames singing as an act of generous risk—"reckless" and "free-hearted"—that finds solace in a nonjudgmental witness. The moon’s memory and kindness transform potential isolation into consolation, suggesting art’s value lies in expression itself and in whatever small compassion endures afterward.
