There's Something Vague About The Moon Tonight
Folder:
Wildlife/Nature
Dusky shadows clutter
gray patches of clouds shifting their shapes
that barely touch the sky, soft illumination
dispeling the darkness.
There's something about that moon tonight...
...drawing my gaze upon it
studying it closely as though
attempting to decipher a mystery unclear.
Hazy halos of aura light skim the surface dimly
so obscure this evening
almost out of focus, almost cryptic
seemingly withholding a secret.
Such a far away enigma...
if only I could touch the moonscape
to determine what's concealed,
to uncover what it holds securely veiled
beneath an overcoat of elliptical orbit.
Oh, it hides something...
yet it draws me as though urging me to expose
what's masked. A lunar challenge? Maybe...
but I remain perplexed at this puzzlement
which fills my senses
as the ardent orb reflects in my eyes.
Just can't put my finger on it
as I stand mooning my time away foolishly.
With a sigh that's caught on a moonbeam
there's only one thing I am sure of...
...there's something vague about the moon tonight.

This poem is written with so much love and adoration of nature. The beauty of nature is so so so awesome to experience-the moon is a very beautiful and mysterious sphere that entraces so many at night. The beauty expressed in this masterpiece is so touching-the symbolism is so vivid.Thank you for sharing this expression of love with me and have a very beautiful and safe week.
