Tonight I gazed at the Moon.
I sat on the soiled pavement
Listening to songs of September,
Gazing upon the Full Fire Moon of August.
I watched as the thin white clouds rose,
Rose up to greet dear Selena.
I feared they would obscure her silvery light.
But not even the clouds could diminish her glory.
Selena shone as brightly as ever before
As the clouds seemed to pass behind her.
Tonight I gazed at the Moon
Feeling the gentle breeze upon my face
And allowing myself to be at peace.
The cool air soothed all the lines of friction
That burdened my lonely soul
As the Moon gazed down upon me.
Rampid thoughts ceased their chatter.
My hands became steady once more.
My neck softened and became languid.
My heart, my shattered glass, opened like a rose.
Tonight I gazed at the Moon.
This is beautiful.
