The Finale of Our Wondrous Wildlife Week Get-A-Way
“When I admire
The beauty of a sunset,
Or the beauty of the moon,
My soul expands in worship
Of the Creator.”
Mahatma Gandhi
The last night of our Wildlife Week excursion
My dogs and I were treated to a Perigee Moon
I have often thought that canines were spiritual
Like ancestor Wolf, they howled a Worship tune
And what majestic sights and sounds these were
As the huge Perigee Moon hovered over the lake
The last Perigee Moon, was almost 20 years ago
This night, this lake was serene, with nary a wake
They say that the Perigee Moons are 30 percent brighter
And that these moons are 31,000 miles closer to the Earth
What a truly magical night to Moon Worship with my canines
As we now celebrated Creation’s Wildlife and Spring’s Rebirth
We spent several hours out on the lakeshore, admiring this full moon
And, just as we started heading inside, we heard a wise old crow caw
That’s when I recalled that Native Americans called this ‘Crow Moon’
Our wondrous experiences this Wildlife Week, truly filled me with awe
The last night of our Wildlife Week excursion,
My dogs and I were treated to a Perigee Moon;
I have often thought that canines were spiritual,
Like ancestor Wolf, they howled their Worship tune.

Thanks Dick
PS: I've heard of the Harvest Moon and a blue moon, but the terms Perigee Moon and Indian Moon were new to me.
