Blue Moon 2016

I’ll light a small fire beside the river that night, And stand and gaze up to the sky. Hopefully no clouds, the moon will be full, A cold second night of July. It’ll be peaceful and quiet, everyone else in bed, No buses or trucks or cars. I’ll stand right there, relaxing my thoughts, Just looking up through the stars. I wonder about what others choose to do, Do when the moon is so pure. Photography or trading? Hunting or surfing? Or fishing with a special night lure? The moon intrigues me; the eclipses, equinoxes and solstices, The waxing crescent, waning gibbon and a quarter. And every month I choose a full moon to meditate, With the sand, fire, air, moon and water. This is the first full moon after the solstice, But this July’s a bit more appealing. It’s this year’s blue moon which can only mean, There’ll be two nights of spiritual healing.
