Full Moon

Full moon illuminates darkened world

Brightening shadows while etching

Open spaces glimmering silver hues 

Nefariousness abhors shimmering beams

Questing into dark corners, burning sinister emotions 

And highlighting unseen motives

Subtly, slowly, silver shades over

To the gray of first light 

Slowly strengthening - making drab 

Night’s elaborate vista’s.

Slipping slowly seaward 

The full moon rests a moment

On distant seascape horizon

Before drowning in the deep cobalt 

Tinged waters of the Pacific

 

Leaving lost souls and wounded beings

To the recuperative powers of the sun’s

Full warm rays of mending relaxation

Freed from the perils of darker night

And fouler beings who prey on the weak

While protected by nighttime’s oft worn masking cloak
