July 1989 <br />Alone I watched the Full Moon rise tonight. <br />The same Moon rose over you just hours ago. <br />Did you also watch it rise? Did clouds obscure the view? <br />Was your night as fine for stargazing? <br /> <br />When the Moon is just starting to clime my horizon <br />It is finishing its' journey across your sky. <br />Were you still awake to watch it set? <br />Did dreams call you away? <br />Tonight I will watch till this Moon leaves to find you again. <br /> <br />The calendar says each Moon shines on you first. <br />But the Moon doesn't follow... it leads! <br />Full Moon... Full Circle <br />Ruler of tides <br />My Moon first tonight. <br /> I shall wish it safely back to you. <br /> <br />Last July the Moon carried grief for me. <br />Was your Moon full of Joy then? <br />I know it wounds you now. <br /> <br />Once Full Moons of June saw each of us born <br />Your Moon predating mine in years. <br />Round Moon... pale circular symbol of eternity <br />First seen by you... then me... then back again <br /> <br />This Moon connects us, at least in my own heart. <br />Allow me to wish it back to you fuller, brighter. <br />The July Moon rises Full over us tonight. <br />Full... of Promise<br /><br />Mary Havran<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/our-moon-2/
