Reflections

Early morning! Lucky ones are still cozy in their beds. Moon in west looks bright and beautiful. It travelled all night just to cover the distance From horizon of east to west end of my back yard. Its silvery light filters through trees. The spread of light and black shadows Is soft as silk upon cold grass. Barefoot I took few steps, Soft grass and cold earth tickles my feet. Fall is here- With short evenings and cold nights. Night creatures have stopped screaming. An unfamiliar sound travels from a distant shore- Could it be frogs croaking by a pond? I doubt..... I watch moon's descent behind tall oaks. Soon the grass, the fence the grapevine all turn dark...trees look mysterious. Tonight will be a super moon lunar eclipse. Moon wanders around my house In endless cycles. Like life going through a new phase In different times, at different place. Stars follow its queen in celestial abode. Soon all will disappear in sunlight. Nature moves in cycles for eons. Life moves only one way for us. It rises to move downhill- Where moon descends and descends- But sun stops rising……. 9.27.2015
