Swoon of the Moon

 
 I feel on the edge
Of something
There’s a full moon
Strawberry moon
Some call it
Friday the thirteenth too
Rather rare it is said
Maybe that’s it
That’s what’s causing this
Uncertainty of life
Uneasiness of feeling
Vagueness of thought
Restlessness of spirit
Like my soul’s in a whirl
My self in a swoon
 
It all started
When I awoke
Opened my eyes to grey sky
Silver river
And weeping trees
 
And thought of you

So touched by this mystical poem that keeps you on the edge of wonder...

Hello Regis! Ihave returned to the den and who do I see, a name as familiar as the feel of your favorite blanket. Great poem (as usual). Thank you for keeping the lantern lit. It's good to be home and among family.

You have created an atmosphere I can relate too as last Friday and Saturday was gloomy here. Did not get to see the moon. And on a side note local strawberry season is here.......so amazingly different than the grocery store. Reason enough to end any gloomy day. Glad I stopped by!

Perfectly expressed...you manage to capture and express those enigmatic feelings so lucidly...

Sometimes, Reg, you just knock it out of the park. This is one of those times. Today has been a very calm day for me, I have had a sense of mellowness and peace. Perhaps it is that I am a witch and today is my day to be powerful, within, and at peace with the world. We had a bit of rain, today with rolling thunder, both cloudy and clear, several times. The rain was cleansing and refreshing, easing some of the parch that the summer brings to the desert. Funny how lunar cycles and odd occurrences have a different effect on each of us.

...mystery Full Moon and unique poetic
words to justify the feeling that goes
with the beauty in the night sky and
show...life isn't just some mathematical
coincidence but a human journey with
purpose and deep emotions...

Also...this time...a nightmare...for all
the friggatriskaidekaphobes (fear of Friday
the 13th).

...I feel it's positive impact...something
that's been paining me lately, stopped hurting
so much. Hope and pray for you, Regis.
Be Blessed!

Truly this is a soothing and thoughtful piece of work
Both picture and text together
They are quite satisfying to see and to read.
Even so, watch the river and stay clear from its edge, Regis, blessings!
