Blue Moon and a Spooky Old Tree - poem

Blue Moon and a Spooky Old Tree

 

To watch the moonrise is almost liturgical

Her bright silver light behind the far-off pines

Rising and glowing and larger and larger

Silent and silver, lifting above the woods

 

I set a camera to watch Moon through the night

Electronics see the night and light differently

The old apple tree appears white and skeletal

And ghosts pretending to be insects flit about

 

Moon and trees and ghosts when left alone

Make merry mischief knowing that I am gone
