Last night's moon
Moon
magical mystical purveyor
of myth and mystery
Silvery ambassador
who shines from sea to sea
As if you know the secret
of whatever is to be
Radiant midnight moon,
the stars and I agree
If you know the future,
please don't tell its tale
to me.
I dont want to know the future either. The past and the present are hard enough to juggle, much less a determined future that I have no control over. The only control I have are the decisions that I make today.
ReplyDeletemesmerising moon...............
ReplyDeleteI missed the moon last night. We had clouds and a storm that hid it. Love your photo and I hope the moon keeps its fortune telling to itself too. I don't want to know the future.
ReplyDeleteme too...don't want to know the future....present is loaded enough...so beautiful photo Sherry...
ReplyDeleteI so agree with that last stanza. It's enough of a challenge to live mindfully in the present, isn't it? Nicely expressed, Sherry.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI think it is better sometime NOT to know the future!
ReplyDeleteI too agree that we do not need to know the future. We do have beautiful moons at the moment and I am glad I can enjoy their stunning beauty.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is just learning the word "moon". I also agree with your moon philosophy. I'm ok not knowing the future.
