The moon shines upon the land at night and makes things seem brighter, the glow of the moon fascinates me, and shows me there's wonders of the earth unexplained still.

I did not realize you were fluent in French!
I took french, 2 years, way back in High school.
(1984 - 1986) I did get to travel to Europe with
the French Club in Summer of 1987. That was right
before my Senior year. I paid two-thirds and my Dad
paid the other third. It was exciting! I shall never forget
those moments!
Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Thanks for reviewing my poems lately too!
All the best,
Becca Lang

Stunning in both the English and the French, Regis. Gorgeous graphic, too. My favourite time of day and yes, for some reason, that gloaming speaks of the transition of the soul, that shift from light to dark that is often sad-tinged and blue-hued. Delicate and whistful and almost like an unheard moan... like birthpangs, almost. Very, very moving and haunting... but in a delightful way. Bless you and thank you, Kate xx
