“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” – Buddha
“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls. – George Carlin
“Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” – Anton Chekhov
il vit dans la lune / he lives in the moon
a man in the moon?
or so they
tell us in
rhyme and
verse
*
so be it
i shall
go to him
in the dark
a pilgrimage
*
finding solace
in each of his forms
devotedly he returns
watching over me
in slumber
*
dreaming peacefully,
breath comes soft and easy
in benediction
he showers me
with stars
*
Bisous,
Léa
poetry, photos and musings oh my! 
a star shower….this is just what i would need right now…such a peaceful and dreamy feel to your verse…
Merci beaucoup! I do recommend a shower of stars. They are magical! 🙂
So soothing… the night sky!
Yes, but also it can be intoxicating… 🙂
I love, I love!
Always liked that quote too–3 Things Cannot Be Long Hidden, The Sun, The Moon & The Truth
Thank you Terah! The night sky here is breathtaking…
Awesome!
Unsure if you know, but I work the graveyard shift so I get to be in the rare stillness of the night. Where I work I am permitted to walk outside just as often as I please. I love when the moon is waxing. I love the moon.
Ah, graveyard shift, I hope you are able to sleep during the day. That was difficult for me. However, I have a bad habit of burning the candle at both ends. The sun wakes me as it begins to rise but I do love the night sky. Nestled between The Pyrenees and The Mediterranean, the beauty just never seems to end and I don’t want to miss any of it. 🙂
This time of year it’s very strange. I literally wake up just as the sun is setting–and, just like when the sun rises, that change in the atmosphere wakes me up. Like an alarm. It is odd. But I would have it no other way (for now).
“Nestled between The Pyrenees and The Mediterranean, the beauty just never seems to end and I don’t want to miss any of it” I’ll bet. When can I come visit? 🙂
Terah, if there is light in the sky, I am wide awake!
When do you have vacation? 🙂
P.S. And, so, naturally I love your poem!
Thanks Terah! x
Hi Lea!
This is a very calming poem; there is something so seductive in the moon for me. A mystery too, that I want to keep and never solve! 🙂
And of course your wonderful selection of quotes. I love them all . But the first resonates with me rhe most.
Love
Christine
