THE MOON A-RISING

 

The moon doesn’t ask. It never does.

She just comes up out of deep black

of the ocean – up into the night sky –

bigger than an 18 wheeler – rolling

down the highway of night. What a

neat blessing to live on the edge of

the Atlantic – and watch this happen

most months. Sometimes it’s cloudy

or rainy and the show is called off

that night – but then the orange moon

nights – make up for the rain outs.

Sometimes I wish you’d get the

message: I wish you’d be like that.
