Tuesday night’s full moon, the Paschal Moon, named for the approach of Passover & Easter. Also known as the Pink Moon.

The Paschal full moon

A sign of Easter’s approach

Lights the path of hope

Its beauty brings renewal

To the soul of every man

 

Author’s Note: “Easter is observed on the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon, which is the first full Moon that occurs on or after the March equinox.” For more info visit: Farmer’s Almanac

Their Final Goodbye – #poetry – #spirits – #NaPoWriMo

A candle lit, for empty tombs

An angel watches over gloom

Sheds her light in darkness, shine

Let spirits wander, not to pine

From out their corpse, they will flee

Their search, to find serenity

To rest their weary, ghostly form

To rise above the laden storm

Of humans, wandering, so lost

Who vilify, but at what cost?

Then drown their sorrows, lest repent

The blaming of, they don’t relent

They look away, and do not hear

Laments of those, so filled with fear

But they who wander, do not stay

They dare not waste another day

Instead they fly, their spirit, high

No longer tethered, they breathe a sigh

Beauty

Feathered in white

Discounts one dressed in black

Who blends with ebony bridges

Alas

Breathing in the lasting moment

Perfumed with lilac scent

Ultimate peace

Repose

Through Pages Turned – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

But to take a step, to dream

To rise above, to the extreme

To far off lands, and unknown worlds

Where imagination becomes unfurled

A single page, an open book

You need do nothing more than look

Then read the words, escape the norm

Lose yourself, inside the storm

Of fantasies, through pages turned

To find the life, you’ve always yearned

Hidden There – #Shadorma – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

In secret

She whispers to her

Desires

Fantasies

Ones she keeps close to her heart

Hidden tightly there
