Blue Moon Insomnia

 Blue Moon you were beautiful as you rose in the night sky

Your Alabama Yeller hue glowed as you peeped over the trees

Growing in size on the horizon as you climbed so high

The touch of fall in the clear air had a romantic breeze

 

Dazzled by your reflection on Harrison Lake one night

Two lovers embraced, enchanted by mirror moons spell

The higher and brighter you grew the moment was right

Hearts enmesh by hypnotic sights, sounds, and smells

 

This magic moment renewed in us with each full moon

Lunar manipulation over tides, seas, hearts, and minds

Folks doing all manner of curious activities soon

Commence howling and frolicking as someone that is blind

 

Since God placed you in the sky to rule the night

You have been the cycle of time that never fluctuates

Affecting all of life ensuring that seasons are right

The standard of time for people and never late

 

At three in the morning you lit up the room

Throwing me into a mind dazzling array of thought

Which drove rest and sleep to impending death and doom

Reflecting on our time with you on the lake cannot be bought

 

All the things that captured my day now disrupting my sleep

Blue moon you have seduced me into this cranial working out

Laying by my lover and trying to be quiet and still without a peep

In twelve hours, you hide and I will close my eyes in sleep no doubt


Dedicated to Lisa and her love for a full moon on Harrison Lake
