Are we all right as
long as the moon hangs above
glowing grace on us?
Is everything fine in
the world, will smiles shine
from our faces in
the midst of chaos as long
as brilliant Luna gleams there
orbiting above?
I looked at the moon growing larger and then rising orange, almost full, low in the sky and the thoughts of the poem came to me. Is it our constant, the one thing we know will be with us?

I’ve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most weren’t meant to hurt. That doesn’t mean they didn’t leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.

Great question and poem. The moon is a constant...though when, not whether that changes, who knows!
I thought it was just me!
Moon watch is such a blessed event, we see the wonder of creation suspended above as if magically there to bless our night's sleep. Glad you had fun watching and creating.
I missed it last night as I went to bed early but I did hear lots of people talk about what a bad day it was. Effects some more than others😉
I loved this poem! Amazing questions posed and wonderfully written!
Jolly on the spot and simply beautiful of the moon. Seen in a new light.
Beautiful poem and photo! The moon is a comforting sight to behold
I've always hoped so. Lovely photo and poem, Andrea!
Well-wrought and nice pic! Many of those old pulp sci-fi writers (Robert Heinlein in particular) thought we would have colonized the moon long before now! But look how we treat the earth, eh? Probably best for Lady Luna that we lag!
Thoughtful and reflective.
Gosh that's such a gorgeous photo! I especially loved the questions in your poem!
Ohh this was beautiful, Andrea! Incredibly done! 💌
Gorgeous writing!
The moon was absolutely gorgeous this weekend!
As much as the moon hangs above, allowing our smiles to shine right in the world, I guess we are all happy. Your poem very beautiful Andrea.
So stunning! Enjoyed this while outside looking up at the Moon ☺️
Ancients worshiped the moon as well as the sun for some of the reasons you've stated. It is inspiring.
The Moon's growing closer here in this part of the world! There was once it hung so low it was frightening for all the reasons you stated. Nice work, Andrea.
This is beautiful. Well done.
Very nice work, Andrea!
Fun fact: the Moon is moving away from the Earth by a few centimeters a year. It won’t affect us, of course, as it will take billions of years for it to separate from the Earth completely. And even before that, the Sun will probably turn into the red giant star and fry all planets of the solar system. Even with all this, loved your poem, Angela, as given the scale of the planets and our life span, the Moon is definitely a constant in our lives.
