Some people say that I am obsessed with taking photos of the daytime moon … which is probably true, but in my poem today, I am using the ‘moon’ as a metaphor for ‘Easter Sunday’ …
Sunday Shroud
now you see me
now you don’t
I’m as pure as the driven snow
and I covertly nudge my way
through the cumulus clouds
looking for that opening in the sky
where I can display my Sunday Shroud
and dispel that dreaded prophecy
“He does not return”

Thank you, Violet … the song is quite an old one by Nick and the Dirty Three (Warren Ellis’s band from the 90’s)

Well, I think the moon is a to everything in our planet’s atmosphere … especially over Easter … when the moon shines upon us all, whether it’s spring or fall … and I can always rely on Nick Cave to enhance my words with his thoughtful lyrics … happy Easter, Carolyn … 😊🌏😍🐥🐶💕🌓

Powerful poem. I’ve never heard ‘he does not return’ in Christian doctrine.
