Skywatch Friday: Summer Solstice Moon

(Mt. Fagan with Summer Solstice Moonrise: pastel on paper by kathiesbirds June 2008)


A sliver of shining silver
slips from behind the stones,
the rocky, craggy, mountains,
and throws
silver light beams over the desert,
silver moon rays into the sky,
a glistening,
............glowing,
.....................moon balloon,
in a summer solstice sky.

    Must say, as absolutely beautiful as your two photos are for SWF on your other blog, this just trips my heart. Your pastel of the moon is beautiful and your words even more so.

    Love Silver moon rays into the sky...

    Just lovely, Kathie.
