The full moon beams
brilliantly
over the sleepy city and quiet prairies.
Mountains on the horizon loom
tall and proud
reflecting heavenly light off snow capped peaks.

I imagine a change of guard of
celestial gatekeepers
taking place with this shrouding event.
Ancient Mayans envisioned a
giant jaguar
swallowed the moon making it disappear.
Local terrestrial citizens may
watch with awe
while others sleep
incognizant
to what is occurring in the sky above them.

As the spinning orbs
align themselves
and earth’s shadow conceals a large red moon
reorientation
is a possibility in our inner selves, too.

The moon
influencer
of emotions
and personality
may cause a shift within
whether we believe it
or not.
