When Moon Weeps

When Moon weeps tears of frost fallen from
legends older than we remember,
when Sun warmed the bones of our elders
and watched young ones play in grassland fields,
then Sky rebelled and Stars fell to us,
in Darkness old bones still remember
and tell the stories of our elders  
before their tears of frost when Moon weeps.

" When Moon Weeps" is a wonderful read/story. This Jan the full moon has been extra pretty like this pretty picture. "Good Luck" I did "SEARCH FOR ME." Have a Blessed Day Writing Away......................
