La Luna: A Haibun
Written for Eugiβs Moonwashed Weekly Prompt ~ Star-flecked
It seems I rarely think of the moon; sheβs just there, suspended in the sky in some kind of pretentious orbit around the earth. Unlike the sun with his blistering summer rays that our mothers warned us about, the moonβs ambient glow is somehow taken for granted. Iβm sure the moon is a she. We are inextricably linked, la luna and me, and I know she forgives me for not paying my respects more often. But she is present in the most unassuming of ways. It happens silently, softly in the very early hours of a new day as her lunar aura pirouettes across my lashes. My eyelids quiver open to see her peeking from behind the tree branches sprawled across the blue-grey sky. And I watch through smiling, star-flecked eyes as she gracefully disappears into the shadows.
mellow morning moon
quietly you slip away
into the stillness
