Title: Red Moon Rising

Written on July 26, 2023

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zechariah 2:5 (KJV) For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Eerie night, casting its shadows Across the heart, carrying the wind Its trembling echo, soothing Gentling the reflections, glistening Glitter sprinkled like laughter, Over the heavens, inspiring hope Stardust ripples in the nocturnal silence Blessings, tempting the moon From its solitude, establishing A blood red pearl, high above the seas Where wonders retell the beautiful Indulging the faded splashes, Kissing the beach like the reflection Red moon rising – to relieve the soul, Coloring the dreams in hues of blushing Grace, and peace, so still it promises Though the moon has bled forever Stirring the moments with endless breath Love so precious it feels like a whispered prayer, Consoling the clear, dark skies with flaming red Tears as clear as dew, just as stunning Preparing the spirit whose yearning For the moment when night has bled and The sun quiets this glowing pearl, stirring Awake the dawn who sees through the crimson Moon, into the heart of a light who is known For its tenderness – its truth, the miracle Gracious as the soul expressed by the haunting of twilight, the dusk demanding… red moon rising, hypnotizing hearts, fascinating the majestic touch from a feeling – bleeding with grace
