Red Moon

The heavens often show us signs Like eclipses, or planets that align Or perhaps comets or asteroids that are soon to come From whose force and fury we could surely succumb Ancient civilizations looked to the stars To predict whether there would be wars The Bible tells us that the moon will turn red An end time harbinger, from eclipses bled There are a few more blood moons that will soon come No place to run, no place to hide As we sail through the universe on this ethereal ride A blood moon rising to a prophetic drum

If this is for the contest, good luck! A bit dark and prophetic, isn't it?

hmmm, I never even thought about it being related to the Revelations moon turned to blood. Something to think about!!!

Joseph, Hi. I like this. And I was out there watching what we take for granted, but probably gave the Romans or Egyptians fits. Can you imagine? Silly question, you're a poet :) Later, Mel :)
