Moon rising

With such short days, sometimes the dawn

Is a silver coin of moon instead of the sun.

It is the misty blue hour

Of moon rising

When all seems possible

As a heron skims across life’s surface.

It brings to mind a lovely verse written by Rumi:

“Some nights stay up till dawn,
as the moon sometimes does for the sun.
Be a full bucket pulled up the dark way
of a well, then lifted out into light.”
