Swallowed By the Moon

*Super Moon 3/20/19


I was swallowed by the moon
Its brightness captured me
It hadn’t come too soon
Needing light to consume me
And so it did, from a dark winter night
My soul moved to and fro
With its endless moon path in sight
Glimmering all over the snow
Nothing but a lift, pulled me above
From the place where I stood
Igniting my heart with love
Like nothing else could

Hello Heidi, Fine lines from a better time. 'pulled me above ~~ From the place where I stood' all this said without haste or regret in a winter night, swallowed by the moon. So wonderful to find this one on a weary weeknight. -Richard
