 * It was before dawn. Silence filled the street, the whole world seemed to be asleep. All on my own I only captured the tree friends’ soft welcome, when suddenly I stopped in my tracks as someone from high above gazed at me with impertinence and had me gazing back transfixed and mesmerized. The full moon! Ohhh ... Just for me, all this brilliance and a giant halo too! It didn’t whisper to me, no! It sang to me in its power voice, was it tenor or soprano? Der Mond, la luna ... androgynous ... The enticing tune rolled over my heart lawn, while moon lips sipped at my well of love deep within. Moon beams reached down to lift me up to the satellite’s privileged position, a unique place to experience gossamer dreams while the sun gets ready for its majestic dawn performance and the moon puts on its most dazzling dancing robe to offer a spectacular finale before leaving the scene. It didn’t whisper to me, no! It sang to me in its power voice! * |

Taking on the receding moon here and taking it on quite well. Love the inner depth of this poem which comes straight from your tender and blessed heart. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways ~*~ |

"someone from high above gazed at me with impertinence and had me gazing back..." To personify the moon...only a poet can get away with that..:-) And then you claim it for your own...like a lover crooning "you belong to me" "The full moon! Ohhh ... Just for me," "sang to me in its power voice!" Lovely poetry......:-) |

Margherita, Darling poet, I whispered to the full moon and he said that he could gaze upon me and touch me with his song, but he was yours. You know him like few do. Love this. Alison |

Thank you, dear Ford, for your loving comment. I think I am in good company when I personify the moon ... a poet loves to do that. Think of St. Francis of Assisi who did that too in his divinely beautiful Canticle of Creatures ... Fratello Sole ... Sorella Luna ... fratello vento (Brother Sun ... Sister Moon ... Brother Wind. No I didn't claim it for my own, but being the only one around who was gazing back, I felt I was the only one to be blessed by its beauty.Usually I am asleep at that early hour, so it made a great impact on me. Sweet Alison girl, thank you so much for your tender words. The moon over your white Alaskian mountains must be an even more mesmerizing spectacle! He is always ours, yours and mine and everybody's moon, but our emotions are certainly deeply personal events. Nature in all its manifestations of beauty is free for all of us to "own". Love, Margherita |

I saw the moon the other evening and thought of you. I didn't have my camera or I would have sent you a picture, but I'll get the shot one day soon. The moon was hanging low on the horizon .. shining through the ice fog. It looked so beautiful. Like your poem is so beautiful. xoxoxo A |

If anyone every questions how the moon can be so perfectly captivating, all they would have to do is read this to see it in all it's glory. And to think that we're all under the same moon. Lovely, lovely |

Ah, lovely Luna does sing for us... Especially when she's full. She is a goddess I truly identify with, but that's probably just the Lycanthrope in me talking. *Howl enjoyed this. Michael |

Dear Ajit, it gives me such joy to think that you were going to connect with the Moon in Mumbai, with your yearning and appreciative heart and my humble words. I am so glad that you were given a clear sight of the moon spectacle! Thank you so very much for your loving comment. (so sad all that pollution!  Thank you, dear Helen, for enjoying the glimpse of the Moon together with me. Dear Amaryllis, thank you so much dear Poetess from the North, for your loving comment. Yes "moon-struck" is the word! I am fine and hope the same of you ... I think you are ... after reading that you "shaped the sun" (... delightful!). I enjoyed your loving comment very much, dear Ida. Thank you from my heart. Dear Spiros, it's a pleasure to know you felt the moon's fascination through my words. Thank you for coming in! Dear Jimmy, "mooned" ... that sounds lovely! Thank you so much for your loving, generous reply.Yes, dear Nicole, she/he shows us always the same face wherever she follows us, there is magic in the Moon-Earth symbiosis for sure! Thank you so much for your most loving comment. Dear Michael, thank you so much for your highly appreciated comment. Well see, the Lycanthrope in you made you "howl" ... unintentionally I think the two words "How I" linked together and became a "howl"! Funny! La luna è magica!Thank you all again. Love, Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |
