Moonstruck

Inspired by imagery from G K Chesterton, and a wonderful full moon.

Naked moon

reflecting

borrowed beams,

stands in jet sky

bespattered

with blinking luminaries.

~~~

Moon-man stands

exposed for world to see

forsaken of all cover

dancing without shame

~~~

Moon-struck

I stand

over-awed,

drawn as if by

hand invisible

to pour forth

heartfelt praise …
