look, there.

i noticed the moon yesterday
as it stood - suspended - at attention
its surface glowing,
a far off beacon of things we do not always understand

like mystery and faith and god and gravity
we must not forget

the way it holds us here
between earth and sky,
in this place where
yesterday and tomorrow are joined by
footsteps illuminated with moonbeams.

footsteps down a windy path that lead me
to
you.

and now, on nights with a particularly striking moon,
i enjoy it best when shared with you -
the view from here
to there.
the light that doesn't burn irises
and retinas
when gazed upon --
a reminder of god's infinite creation
and his love
for you

for me.
