Moon Family

A L O H A
means 'Good Night' too . . .




Night doesn't fall.
       
                                    I think it floats down .  .  .












Shadows grow longer,

  
                    a n d    l  o  n  g   e   r . . . . 










Everyone pauses . . .
                      
                                or paws-es. . .








Agonies and extricates of color
                 
                                   psychedelicize . . . .







This was the prized,
 the desirable sight, 
unsought,
 presented so easily. . .
 
Gerard Manley Hopkins's
Moonrise

 
 
> < } } ( ° >
 
That beauty is a thing beyond the grave,
That perfect, bright experience never falls
To nothingness, and time will dim the moon
Sooner than our full consummation here
In this odd life will tarnish or pass away.

D. H. Lawrence
Moonrise

 Like Japanese poets
we contemplate
the same moon.

We share our poems
in bits and bites,
tweets, updates,
and posts.

Mostly
we enjoy each other
under the 
Autumn Moon.

Tipsy
we smile 
together-

-somehow
it is more
than abundance.

Moon Family
