Moon Pearls
In full phase the moon
in loft perched high
reflects light of sun
its pearl rays descending
illuming land and sea
to abet in night darkness
crowning its realm
earth’s bounty
affection radiating o’er
sleeping nature whilst
lighting ways of water
and soil of earth
angles differing as
it rotates…light waning
‘til alas the dawn
of a new day!

SHARING STORIES is a weekly column for and about the 50 plus crowd living in the Puget Sound region. Send your stories and photos to ariele@comcast.net. Tell local or personal stories; discuss concerns around aging and other issues; share solutions, good luck, and reasons to celebrate; poems are fine too. Pieces may be edited or excerpted. We reserve the right to select among pieces. Photos are always a plus and a one-sentence bio is requested (where you live, maybe age or career, retired status, etc.).
