December Moon, Part One

Partly hidden
Behind the soft clouds
Playing chicken?
Or just a misty shroud?

“Everyone is a moon, and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody.” Mark Twain

October Moon

Shiny objects in the sky
Was it an unidentified fly by
Or just the crescent moon up high
Shining its light in this fool’s eye

“October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again” Hal Borland

October Saturday, Part Two

Standing in the sun’s light
Between the tall shadows
Selfies of a different kind
Listening to the echoes
Before the end of twilight
And the rising of the moon
Night time falling soon

The Dark Side of the Crescent Moon

“You can be the moon and still be jealous of the stars” Gary Allan

The Dark Side of the Crescent Moon

In the darkness
Of the silent night
Staring into the blackness
With only guiding light
The crescent moon
Eyes fully tuned
Watching each step
So not to misstep
From the narrow road
With a stride slowed
The dark side tempting
But towards the light bending
Which side will win
And paint your skin
With its mark

“Aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star” W. Clement Stone

September Moon

The view from my room
A beautiful crescent moon
Lighting the dark night sky
How I would love to fly
High up, up there
Into the stratosphere
And visit the man on the moon
Like shown in the cartoon
