Full Moon Chronicle III

Full Moon Chronicle III


The world wobbled on its axis today
Ever so slightly
Shaking me gently, waking me -
No one else noticed. 

Under dark canopy of trees I did drive
Soothing a care worn mind
As moonlight on the lake
Made
my insides churn -
In a good way.

The hairpin turns – a lover's caress
Ushered in a full message
While sunflowers by a road block
Bluegrass to each side
Expanded my vision.

And further down the road
An old car being sold
As prelude to a finer edition
Cherry red with manual transmission -
Restlessness turned to ecstasy
At these thoughts, seeing me
For the first time.
