Red Moon

Some say bad times are a comin, some say trouble's on the way. Nonsense I say, just a total lunar eclipse as the moon passes through the darkest part of the Earth's shadow any light reaching the moon is refracted through the Earth's atmosphere which scatters the blue light, and what reaches the moon is red. So I say, but with four in two years and the situation in the Ukraine, Syria and all I'm goin to cover my mirrors.

There will be darker times ahead and yet one day all shadows will vanish. I enjoyed this piece.
