The moon waxing gibbous yet still
slicing a swath of brilliant light
as a star cloaked in clouds of grey
heralds in another new year
while fallen leaves rain-soaked
leave paths of design wind-blown
on still another cold winter night
speaking in cursory tones of apathy
clothed in ice or frosty breath
billowing as tiny puffs of clouds
as revelers send fireworks skyward
each past year is now a footprint
knowing garnered as grains of sand
stitched into the living fabric
of each life taking every step
along an ocean bathed
in luminous moonlight
as unique as the night sky filled
with a moon waxing gibbous

You captured the awe of a full moonlit night beautifully, Renee. I didn’t get to see it here.
Hope you’re staying warm on these cold nights!

Moon is a witness to both footprints and fireworks in the icy night. And so is the poet and her reader.
