Wheel of Moon

hdphotogallary.blogspot.com

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…

  10. "gifts of / past incarnation - // they might come / in the present lifetime" Like that little wordplay, especially going into merry-go-round. Very clever.

  20. One often reacts to the moon in line with its brightness or changes of shapes. Yes, on the other hand how does the moon react.Interesting take humbird! Merry Christmas to you, Ma'am, and Happy Holidays!
