Moonchild

A few days ago I awoke from the strains of a forgotten dream, with the acute knowledge that the moon would be full on my birthday. Whence this premonition came I cannot tell you, but alas, it is true, my birthday coincides with the first full moon of the year 2016!
More than this, it has birthed a few verses which I will hesitate no further to share:

Moonchild

This bright night                   

a perfect orb                         

smiles upon earth                      

as birth anniversary                            

completes                                  

six squares.                               

In two toned radiance

she depicts dreams

of flitting images across

her surface,

of smiles and proud pats

on my back;

three dozen strong.

Quivering with life-filled

radiations from yonder,

her energy throbs

touch me through

picture perfect cracks

between coconut palms.

Each breath I take this new year,

 a nibble of her pulse.

each volition cast in life’s ocean as

I brave another epoch,

 assured a rewarding catch

her halo, abundance.

This full moon, I erupt in

three dozen decibels of rejoicing.

my steps on this breaking day

are multiples of three and six.

the perfect number for this

moonchild; maid in full bloom.

Full Moon
