Spinning your wheel,
oh, Moon,
I’ve been introduced
to many faces
and moods
I went through
the calendars
of visitors,
appeared and
disappeared
in centuries’
volcano
craters;
buried the talents
and gifts of
past incarnation -
they might come
in the present lifetime
if I keep the seat
at merry- go-round
Oh, Moon,
will your guise,
so
swollen,
turn in the oval
if I disappear…

Hopefully that seat comes and you are merry as you go around lol

ReplyDeleteNeat take on how we gift each other through presence! Happy end of year and beginning of new, whatever Holy Days you celebrate.
ReplyDeleteThank you much,Susan! Happy holidays to you!
Deleteah if we hang on long enough the things we will see...nice loos rhyme through the first part....and working with kids, the phase of the moon matters in how they do...trust me...smiles.
ReplyDeleteI really believe in phases of moon. We live under weather in all meanings.
DeleteThanks for thoughtful comment...I feel this time full moon tremendously...physically and emotionally too. Happy Holidays to all your family!
She is magnificent..well worth going around and around on the merry go round
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed :) xx

ReplyDeleteOh, Kerry. I afraid I too addicted to astrology ...maybe past lives calling..

Deleteloved the lines
ReplyDeletethey might come
in the present lifetime
if I keep the seat
at merry- go-round
gifts sometimes come wrapped in a soul...
...and we're not always unwrap them immediately...Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat is a spectacular photo and your poem is lovely......moon poems are among my favourites.
ReplyDeleteGlad you like them! Much Love :)
Delete"gifts of / past incarnation - // they might come / in the present lifetime" Like that little wordplay, especially going into merry-go-round. Very clever.
ReplyDeletethe moon has enormous power...we can see it in the tides...ebb and flow... i used to sleepwalk a lot when i was a kid when it was full moon...i was doing things like climbing on wardrobes and stuff...oy...

DeleteMoon will always be an inspiration for poets and writers:)
ReplyDeleteFor sure!
DeleteNice comparison of life with respect to the moon..great ..
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Deletebeautiful images and thoughts......
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed! :)
DeleteI love the circularity here--the constancy of the moon and the turning of life against it
ReplyDeleteEverything go in circles ...and swirl into infinity...
DeleteI love the moon and I love how you've used it as a constant here.
ReplyDeletePhilosophy ...what is constant? only humanity for me..and music! maybe poetry too? :)
DeleteBeautiful! I love the moon.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laurie :)
DeleteThe sight of the moon always calms me down for some reason.
