      Red Moon in forest

      POETRY  CORNER

      Kathabela Wilson  10/7/14

      woken at 4 am
      by the eye
      of a blood moon
      I floated out hypnotized
      into the blue

      Ο Ο Ο

      bird flying over trees in blood moon

      blood moon
      all night you look
      into my shadow
      is it because of your tears…
      your eye so red

      Ο Ο Ο

      how many times
      do you stare in my window
      night watches
      while my shadow sleeps
      with the blood moon

        Thank you all for appreciating these midnight blood moon reflections. Love that you found a Lorcaesque flavor Lotis…. and Susan, thank you for your always sensitive readings, and finding the surprises. You are sky to my moon.

          Spirits like you Kathabela are the real saver of our world. Keep inspiring those who are around you and those too who are in a geographic distance but needing food for their minds.
