Talking about Softly Touching The Moon

 

Quote

Softly Touching The Moon

Following thunderstorms

And tornados

I signed off the computer,

Grabbed a light jacket

and not exactly dashed off

For the bus stop.  At a slow

Steady pace

and half a block

from the house

My ears were stinging

Cheeks red and I was

Becoming a frozen Stephen.

Ah, too late to turn back.

Then, after three blocks

I turned the corner and saw the bus pull away.

I laughed out loud

And headed back to the house.

Had a bracing bit of the great outdoors!

 

Following thunderstorms and tornados

Tired Cold fingers of winter

Return with Icy Winds

Reminding the Naked Woods

To tremble before

the Sap runs in the thaw

As the Birds return and Call

the Spring in the light of

The Full Crow Moon.

Speaking softly as a prayer

That moans in the Earth

To be re born.

 

As ever be well.  Stephen Craig Rowe
