Misty Moon


As I sat alone on the edge of my bed
Contemplating events of the day before slumber,
I saw the misty halo of a rising moon … the Flower Moon.
Through my window it looked entangled,
Caught in the branches of a budding Maple,
Tender leaves gently stroking, pushing it along the way.
I wondered if you were watching it too,
As lovers often do.
I wondered if you saw the misty halo too.
Thoughts filled my head as I drifted to sleep,
As I prayed the Lord my soul to keep.
But sleep didn't last.
Vapory dreams living in the past
of a Flower Moon from long ago.
Our love was budding and started to grow.
No branches in its path, no encouragement required.
No mist in the air, our hearts were on fire.
The sky was clear,
No halo from my tear.
