The Moon Over You


High above

In the midnight sky

I gazed upon

An orange colored moon

It was surrounded

By

An army of elephants

Made of

Smoke and fog

They were locked

Together

Trunk to tail

Tail to trunk

As they marched in their

Foggy formation 

What a beautiful

Sight to see

Tonight

These shapes

Taking form

In the heavens above!

Our imagination

Is

The untamed Angel

Living within us all

Wanting

Nothing more than

To create

To express

So

Take the time

To look up in the sky

Gaze upon the heavens

The planets

The Constellations

Orion

Bootes 

The Dippers

And

The two faces of Gemini

All the star families

Sparkling

Like signal fires from God

Really

Stop and look at them!!!

Then ask yourself

When was

The last time you did?


From my book, When The Cedars Shade Your Grave
