That Is Life

THAT IS LIFE The transformation of the brightest and biggest full moon Monday night that mesmerized, delighted me and brought joy to my heart turned into sadness the next day knowing that my best friend passed. Memories of her flooded me and when I looked at the sky to brighten my mood in gazing at the full moon, it was covered with clouds and I thought to myself, life is really a series of ups and downs, isn’t it? 5/29/21 Bite Size Poem 3 Poetry Line Gauthier

Ah, so true, Marilene. I'm so sorry you lost your friend. Perhaps a full moon will always remind you of her.
