When the moon speaks, cont.

 by Shaun Lawton




the moon can be obtrusive & sentimental, there's no disputing it's a mental construct
among creation there can be no exceptions, depending on how you behave in front
of yourself, the moon is the opposite of a misdirection, it's a direct reflection of the light
from the Sun, it's been said before and can't be stressed enough, the moon is our shield 
we've been blessed with somehow, some say it was left as a gift, that we've been entrusted
with it by Athena, she left it with us as an amulet of protection, and some believe the moon
is the stone that rolled away three times before the resurrection, and some have described
those periods of time as trimesters of a holy gestation, the moon plays a pivotal role 
 in every genuflection as it mirrors in orbit around the Earth crossing the heart's direction. 
The moon is like a rogue detective examining the scene of a mysterious crime 
 with a magnifying glass. The moon counts the passing months with a consistency 
of a metronome. The moon is the conductor of a phantasmagorical symphony. 
 The moon is never allegorical, it can only be one thing. The moon is a giant gong
 struck by a timpani of asteroids, still ringing. The moon whispers in our ears
 every night as it has for years. The moon is passing on the legend of a song. 
 For the moon is a great speaker that carries on the messages of the dead. 
It passes on the stories that are carried by the wind. The moon can be an enemy
 and also be a friend. It really just depends on what the moon feels like doing
