Moon-Round and Full

Kelly 1955 (WA)

The moon hangs in the sky round and full
like its auditioning for the attention of Hercules and Ophiuchus-
Moonbeams give shape to imagination while cosmic beacons twinkle and explode across an indigo sky-
Outside my window, fireflies flit about under the watchful eye of Venus trying to outshine the moon orbiting so slow stealth-like a Siberian tiger prowling through a canopy of trees-
The moon round and full wanes as Vega heartens to the eastern sun painting the dawn in tangelo-glow.
