Brian Sambourne Poet Rhyme

Transfixed

When you stare at a full moon,
           does it map a heart distracted?
           does it bear grief-thoughts
           caught by light refractive?
           does it shred a net of self protection?
           is it a lunar mirror of your own reflection?
A glow to seize the brass ring of one's attention

Tell me, does your settled glance kick start
            solumn meditation?
Do you ponder a kneeling peace of enviable salvation?

Is a world in fractions a baffling link, distraction?
Or is a stare uncharted, simply wonder drifting?
A gaze that softly moulds your face in night.

Lumbering moments to close the buzzing chords
            of blight
Questions unanswered that seal the wounded 
             light

Ann Gilmour February 16, 2021 at 12:10 PM Many congratulations Brian on your win. I too am transfixed each time I see the moon, there is something magical and alluring about her. Your poem made me think, as it throws a different stance on gazing at the moon and I enjoyed reading it ~ thank you. With kindest thoughts Ann x Brian Sambourne February 16, 2021 at 1:25 PM Dear Ann, Thanks so much for your kind comments.
