November Moon

November moon,
dangling pearl 
trailing the face of dusk
like a brooding tear.

Morpheus leads our way
through luminous sleep,
through stained glass shards of
our multiverse.

November moon, 
you languish unrealized,
in somber slumber fog.
Our mortal arousal,
our wounds are reopened.

Morpheus leads our way,
through lustrous ruminations,
through spiraling remnants of
our Megaverse.

November moon
We hardly notice you
in our narcoleptic cloud,
our emergent consciousness,
our collective imagination.

Morpheus leads our way
through refulgent recall,
through steep sleep stages,
where we are unified
		           as one.

Your visually strong first stanza drew me in, Thomas. Such a vivid metaphor of the moon as a 'dangling pearl.' Excellent writing throughout with each stanza building on the previous one. All the best, Thomas, in 2025 and beyond.

Thank you, Brian. It's great to connect with you again! For whatever reason, my poems are increasingly turning toward the hidden spiritual. Happy New Year to you and all the best with your poetry.
