We chatter to sangrias and songs
In Vintage tees, we cheer to yesterdays
Look up, there's a full moon beckoning-
A blue moon, silk & serene, round-eyed
Silver light, its wholeness lifting us
To gaze beyond trees, city lights, cars
Blue moon, give us the longing for stars
Map our hands with sage & bay leaves
We are soft as ocean, flowing into you

This is a lovely poem, that makes me wish for the moon (and my sage withered alas)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful, serene poem. I can hear the ocean, laughter and music beneath that blue moon.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful moon spells, Grace. I especially love the sibilant ‘silk & serene, round-eyed silver light’ and ‘We are soft as ocean, flowing into you’.
