Children sit around the old man
Full attention is given to his words
Telling the story of the full moon warrior, he
Chews and spits
Holding suspense between his coughs.Woman warrior named moon
Revolts against the tyranny of the sun
Sun burns all day with anger
Leaving in darkness
Creatures of the night in fear lost.Moon warrior fights tyranny
Peaceful the night is to remain
Light visits in calmness yet bright
Full moon returns
Lady with a smile visits once a monthLeaving a trail over the days
Love in tranquility shines and
Remain for days resisting
Spirits endures
Full moon returns, salvation from beyond.February 21, 2019
