Under the Moon

Contributor: Bruce Mundhenke

What were your thoughts
When you saw the moon,
Low and red in the sky?
Did its beauty seduce you,
Were you under its spell,
Or did you think it
Just a rock in the sky?
As it lost its red hue
And grew pale,
Did it seem to shrink
As it climbed?
So many souls,
All throughout time,
Have watched as it passed
Through the night.
