I saw the moon tonight.
It surprised me with it's size.
Low hanging, wide,
On the first of March, and full.
Where since the last time I saw one,
So much has passed:
A new year, a broken arm, a death, the Super Bowl,
the Olympics, a new job, and my birthday.
It struck me that as I gazed up I saw a warm smile.
The kind where in the moment I simply took in the sight and only later realized;
Where sand may shift and doors may close,
Under it all a heavenly current still flows.
To carry us through the fires and contests,
Heal us up, train our minds, God knows.
Despite all peril my body's still here, and so is my mind.
And there is the moon smiling down on me.
Please, how many moons can I see?
