WE KEEP WATCH: ODE TO THE MOON

Together, all around the world, we keep watch, stirred by your resilience and your brightly beaming, taking back the Night.
  Unafraid, you keep on,  bold and unwavering.
  Reassured by you luminous, true Presence
  I return to sleep in the predawn light , feeling Blessed.
        Written in the night, as February 16 is dawning, and the Moon begins to wane.   "You are no paper moon.  You're full of life, a vitality so unlike the Sun.  You are so full of Grace, Mystery, Patience, and Presence.  You help me trust the changes that are coming.  Thank you for giving Light to the Darkness."
