Reflections On A Moon Poem by Bill Galvin
Reflections On A Moon
A bright, clear and cold night…
The near full moon setting low in the winter sky,
Illuminating the bare tree branches;
Casting ghostlike shadows on the snow;
Ghostly arms and fingers stretching around the yard.
At three in the morning
I am looking out the window of an empty room;
An empty room in a lonely house.
A house made quiet with your passing.
A silent moon sets on a quiet night.
A long, soulful and loving relationship…
With many moons, full and not so full,
Passing silently overhead;
Casting mysterious light down to us.
Some seen, some missed, some ignored;
Some we danced under, some we sang to.
Some we loved under…
Some we expressed our love under.
I remember the date… you told me recently…
September 8,1972.
Forty-two years is a lot of moonlight.
