This night’s moon
Is wet and red
Pensive, heavy
Soaked in a silent mystery
And a bloody cry as of hunting wolves
Unheard of and staining
The blue-black canvas of the tree-dotted nightscape
She struggles
This fascinating moon
To lift herself above the palms
And jab
Our consciousness
With wishes from the embers
Of the invisible weavings of life
The faithfulness
Of the ever-returning moon…
Soon the tree-tops
Who now stare levelly at the moon
Will also have to raise their eyes up
If they want to see
Her face…
O lovely awesome red moon
Rising above the palm trees
Ascending again
Sink like the silence of peace
Deep into my breast.

Thank you for stopping by and commenting. The moon always pulls us back, like tide.

I’m very sorry about this repeat of Theresa’s comment. This was not what I had written Che. I wrote a comment and then had to copy it because I was not signed in correctly. When I pasted what I though was my own comment, somehow this repeat happened ?

No matter, my friend, just post it again.

Yes – we raise our eyes up or inward to connect those invisible weavings of life… You are on your way.
