Reading between the lines 


 

Looking north toward the twilight sky 

There, in the cobalt canopy 

The daylight moon flickered in my eye 

In between the steel pylons 

In between the copper cables 

And the blackened power lines 

I pondered, what was the moon’s perception?  

Of Earth’s domineering digital congestion

My Mirrored Moon 

 
 

Last evening, the midnight moon 

Infiltrated my room 

Like a mischievous raccoon


 

This morning, the sky’s silver moon 

Enshrined our blue lagoon 

With her debutant’s festoon

Shadowed Ground




I look up and wonder why

The moon is fearfully hiding

In the fading twilight sky

As he forlornly looks down

Upon our shadowed ground

Knowing our King of Peace

Wears a shrouded crown

Do You See the Sound? 

 
 
 
Oh, great spirit of the sky 

My eyes hear the sound  

Of your moonbeam’s cry  

A message so profound 

Sadly, echoing the unearthly tremors  

Of whales and pelicans distressed murmurs  

This world has an abundance  

Of digital receiving towers  

And trillions of mobile phones  

To interpret your ethereal moon-rays


 

Cannot they see the sound?  

From under the oceans  

Cannot they feel the ground?  

Beyond today’s horizon  

Cannot they hear the drowned?
