The Moon Between the Trees

It was the night after the full Moon. This was the night that I saw the Moon between the trees. It was huge! It was the color of melon! My world was lit as my life had instantly risen. I saw light gray clouds all dismayed with dark blue visions. My moment had come forth and all at once, I felt a life inside myself begin to breathe. Three decades of life had passed by me. Cascades of shadows erupting dark and gray! Now they evolve in true sight and all of this was for my eyes to see! “Oh My God”, dear God, this is my world mine all mine in every way! And this is what I have dropped before Thee? At such a long distance, that glimmer has covered over me. So many nights I lay before Thee. Not one word and not even one moment heard. For it was silence, for I could not breathe! An hour had passed since I saw the Moon between the trees. It had vanished and no longer could my own eyes see, That dark blue vision, the one that would not let me feel a breeze! I saw that melon with its glimmer, the one that had covered over me. I felt my breath deep down inside of me and I finally began to breathe. “Oh My God”! My dearest God, I have found what I lay before Thee! I have found the vision of gray and how huge it was for my eyes to see! “My dearest dear God, my only one and true God”, Oh my how I have forsaken this precious life you have given to me!
