On a night last month a full moon rose above the city skyline across the bay and sent its light to dance on the water around my feet. It had traveled a long way to reach me and seemed as if it was infused with the miraculous. I bent down and scooped up a little of the light. It felt alive, trembling in the cupped palm of my hand, so fragile in the gravity of this angry world.

These thoughts of your always capture the details of what most don't notice, much less give credit to them for just 'being.' It's what I once told you, Paul... you expose the light, and not just the one in this poem to many of us who are blind to the things we should treat with awe.

Hey Paul! Your poem captures that magical moment under the full moon perfectly! I love how you describe the light as something alive and fragile. It really makes me feel the contrast between beauty and the chaos of the world. Keep sharing those beautiful moments! Autumn Blessings, My Friend, Daniel
