FULL MOON WONDERINGS

When you walk under the watchful eye of a full moon…your mind begins to soar And you find a variety of thoughts come crashing upon your shore. For instance: as I see the moon and stars hovering in the sky… and a host of clouds floating free… I wonder…since I am seeing them…if they are seeing me? I wonder how many people have ever mistaken the sunset for the dawn. Or if anyone has ever ridden on a dragon…or shook hands with a leprechaun. I wonder about love and hate…in each case…what ignites them… I wonder if there’d still be wars…if no one came to fight them. I wonder if there is any part of prejudice and bigotry I will ever understand. I wonder if instead of taking up arms against one another…we tried more…holding hands. I wonder if a meadow filled with flowers is where rainbows go to rest. I wonder if a rabbit ever feels wonder or if a dolphin feels blessed. I wonder if an eagle or a whale ever look around and wonder…how and when and why. I wonder what it’s like to be a bird…or a butterfly. I wonder how many different things can cause a heart to swoon. I wonder if I started walking now…how long it’d take to reach the moon. I wonder if what makes us rich is not how much we save but how much we give away. I wonder if it’s really true…that love will always find a way. These are the kind of thoughts that come ashore… they’re always filled with wonder and surprises… and why I can’t to take my morning walk when the next full moon arises.
