white lantern
how do I go from here
now that the waxing gibbous
is nearly full
stealing my thoughts
and making me motionless
she is a glorious pale melon
rising above the whiteness
that is winter
saying look at me look at me
I am as cold as cold can be
bright like a lantern
on a visibly cloudless night
she exposes my
somber & aimless thoughts
my body warm & spellbound
january two thousand twenty-one

When I am out taking photos of the moon… I’m freezing, even though I’m bundled up… but it’s so worth it. Special moments to cherish.
wonderful imagery, Tara, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts xo
Thank YOU, John. I re-read 30 Days last night. Marked some of my favorites. Decided I couldn’t live without your other two I don’t have and immediately went to Amazon. You’re the best.
