Delightful, not frightful
During this month of Halloween!
Last night, it sat on top of a steeple
For moments, rising in the east
No longer full, more than three quarter
Translucent pink to amber in the early rise
Humongous at the start it was
Rising behind the church of mine
The steeple shadowed
Claiming its very right
Exalting benediction ...
Causing one to kneel upon the glorious sight
~ Dances With Terri - 10/16/11 ~
Every October and November, I dance with the moon
As each night the temperature lowers
And brings death to what we rejoiced in the Spring
There is a sense of magic and great transformation
Unsure, what will still be alive the next day
The moon, in these months, seems much brighter
More vivid ... Clearer, than in any others
As if to prepare us
For the longer darkness of days in the winter...
Maybe, the beauty ahead
lies in the darkness
As it did last night
and will again
