It's said the moon has power over man - <br />It governs our body mechanisms, <br />Rising and falling biorhythms, <br />Lunar months during pregnancy, <br />And it plays with our minds: <br /> <br />The full moon is captivating - <br />Rising as a ball of orange light in the fall, <br />Blazing brilliant white on a winter night <br />Enhancing the stars in their midnight glory <br />And bathing the earth below in stark half-light: <br /> <br />It mesmerizes lovers and dreamers, <br />Promises miracles to those who pray, <br />Agitates the mentally unstable mind, <br />Inspires the poet to creat beautiful words, <br />And interrupts our sleep with its magical glow; <br /> <br />It beckons us to exlore its mysteries - <br />A lucky few have walked its surface <br />Leaving footprints for future explorers to follow, <br />Always it appears as a beacon of steadfastness, <br />An anchor that tethers this unstable planet. <br /> <br />A beautiful sight on a black onyx night.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/full-moon-contemplation/
