Red Moon

Owls moarn the last full moon of August
lost in the pines

The ghost through the trees swoons in orbit

Her look of wonder now one of weary unbelief

Earth moves and I stand still-feet as heavy as iron

I'm no longer able to defy gravity and she pulls me in

My roots sink deeper than a locust in draught

But the more she pulls the more my soul breathes the soft sweet air

Crickets chant in unison-absorbed in meditation

How fine to know your place in the world

Even in the dark of the last full moon

It is always a treasure to read your works...
and it is a joy to "know your place in the world."

Linda, your poetry is so lyrical. It's music for my eyes. It soothes my restless spirit. I can always count on walking away from a Linda Gayton piece feeling more at peace.

Thank you so much for sharing your work.

Rooted and grounded, this has a marvellous orientating effect and the sense of harmony, place, purpose and vision, Linda. Ah, the sense that, in such a moment, all is indeed well with the world! Absorbing and wonderful atmosphere, thank you. LOL Kate xx
