lunar eclipse

lunar eclipse and the heart will mend
shadow across the moons black eye
all seems blue and dark
around the crisp bright edges
perhaps to see this autumn omen
is to see the very face of creation
built in the image of a simple god
This moonlight cycle called by many names
blood moon, hunters moon, harvest moon
it is the moon that crawls
across the snowscape, and reminds me
I am mortal, almost alone....
