Lunar Eclipse

Beneath my feet the grass
bend under my weight
as I look up at the weight of the earth
resting
on the moon.

I am struck
unable to speak of space
and its unreachable, untouchable,
untaintable awe.

Orion, strong and straight
reaches out to touch this beautiful
eclipse of light and dark.

Hyades bows under the
indiscernible beauty of the moment.

While Pleiades dances in lines and circles,
for this night cannot be contained
in stillness.

And I am here.
Standing in my front lawn,
heart expanding with the universe,
unafraid of the future.
