can you admire the moon
December 15, 2010 by elisabethbee
can you admire the moon
as she shines
new to full
not fearing the changeable tides
nor burdened by gravity’s pull
light blue half globe
dim in the day
or lost in the rain or clouds
glowing giant on horizon’s edge
bright in the night
reflecting day again
orbiting you
her light for you
waning and waxing for you
can you bear the shifting tides
the pull of gravity
for love
of the moon

loved this…
I’ve been into writing about the moon some myself recently.. love this take on it… great metaphors for love and life…
Very beautiful.
I love the moon – when I walk home at night, it is such a comfort to know that she is watching me, just over my shoulder.
oh! I adore this! wonderfully done
Thanks for your comments. I was thinking about the gravity of love – and how well the moon worked for that idea…
