fullmoon012416
Soft as velvet, blackened night
Luminous orb through shadows bright
Full in wonder, shining bright
Mesmerize us with celestial light

Illuminate the darkened sky
As the clouds go slowly drifting by
Enticing us from way up high
You captivate and mystify

Seducing us with golden splendor
To you, alas, we must surrender
Luna, Goddess of the Moon
With you, we are at last, attune

Although it became quite misty, I was able to get some shots of  last night’s penumbral lunar eclipse.  I hope you enjoy  🙂

This is the full moon, known as the Snow Moon, coming up over the mountain, roughly 5:50PM EST 2/10/17

img_3559The full moon with a subtle sign of the eclipse.  Look lower left corner to see the Earth’s shadow.  Approx: 6:25 PM EST 2/10/17

img_3563It was getting very hazy but you can still see the eclipse partially covering the left side of the moon.  Approx: 7:15PM EST 2/10/17

img_3564 While the haze still lingered, you can now see the soft shadow of the penumbral eclipse of the full moon.  Approx: 7:50 PM EST 2/10/17

img_3582The last picture isn’t so great but it still shows the amazing beauty of our celestial bodies.  ❤

house-1966824_960_720
Full moon rises,

lights the sky

Waters flowing,

mountains high

Love illuminates,

this small house

Where elfin live,

he and his spouse

Hidden deep,

beyond the crest

They built together,

this sturdy nest

A place that they,

can call their own

Where peace ever reigns,

in this house of stone

gondolier-2018052_960_720
I sail upon this wooden craft

Toward places yet unknown

A gondolier, upon a raft

Into the light that shone

Luminous, it beckons me

Yet the darker side is near

I know not what I really see

My vision not quite clear

What does cast its shadow

On the waters, in my boat

Will it guide me, whilst I row

Or will the moon, and I, just float

Solace reigns above me

In the hidden worlds of craters

In the quiet of empty oceans

On the dark side, yet

In the light of the heavens

From Earth into the skies

This is where I long to be
