I looked up at the moon tonight
I saw shape and shadow and brightness
Something changed
Like movement
I became aware
A chill crossed my body
And I became aware for the first time today
Aware that there is a frost on the ground
Aware that the moon is speaking to me
Aware that my dog is hanging on my every movement
Trying to predict my next move so he can remain close to me
Aware that the night sky is so deep and dark
Yet if you look closely it still retains a hint of midnight blue
