Furtive touch of full moon
Giant full moon
I took in your splendour
catching my breath in wonder.
You were supposed to be hidden
behind heavy black clouds.
The rain had been King all day long.
But just for the time of a sigh
your pure white light
shone ever so bright,
pretending my attention.
Your furtive touch made
everything seem all right.
You say” look into my eyes
and see the magic of life!”
Your lover the ocean
misbehaved, you know,
falling out of rhythm
obeying to an abrupt lurch
of its darkest depths.
You were out of control,
your soft whispers of love
were silenced by a sudden roar.
Yet, your beauty is unaffected
by death, I gaze at you in awe.
At heaven’s gate tonight
there are immense crowds
of astonished souls
waiting to be admitted to the Light.
Tears are falling from the sky
to merge with those cried
by loved ones who survived.
The world is in the grip
of sadness tonight.
Still, in the silence of this night
I am under the spell of your charm.
Speak softly and calmly now
to the blue extension of the sea
caress her surface with your glow,
soothe Mother Earth into sleep
let the vision of terror fade
ban from all the shores
the tsunami waves.
Full moon, you shine so bright tonight,
so many tears glisten in your light.
Love, Margherita
