the moon hangs heavy, bright orange
and large tonight
I am consumed with its beauty
I look away
I don't know, something different about it
but I take another look
feel like the strange moon
has enveloped me
that feeling dissolves my wariness
still, I feel my flesh crawl
the silhouette darts
in and out of the moon's luster
I don't know
maybe I am hallucinating
the silhouette looks familiar
I'm not sure
it isn't even there
oooh, the orange brightness of the moon
wraps me in its embrace
I feel intimacy complete
the silhouette
who is it up there
have I finally seen the man in the moon

Jerry, I love the moon and all its different expressions. It was awfully dark last night and I missed it very much! I liked this write.

Yes, Lori, when the moon is not visible it makes for a bleak night for sure. Thank you for your input.
