Reflective Day

I haven’t done much on my blog today but would like to share our walk last night with you.

It was a really pleasant evening, not too late, but not early.
The moon was full, but the sky was unusual………. and totally awesome.
Even if we’d had the camera, we could not have captured its mysterious beauty.
The sky was dark, but the moon seemed to be hiding behind strata of pink candy floss.
There was one section of really dense cloud running almost at right angles to it, as if someone had torn a hole in the sky.

Hubby and I have both tried to find a picture similar to what we saw last night and come up empty.
He has however worked some of his photoshopping magic and generated a picture that is quite lovely, though not a patch on last night.

A moon in full glory,
Dressed to kill,
Shining bright amidst the dark.
Shimmering on rippled water,
A path just visible,
Hinting at a mystery below.
Layers of pink and purple
Alternately shielding and hiding
Your silver orb of magic.
Will you dance on the surface,
Dipping your toes in a metallic sea,
Swirling your candied skirts
To the rhythm of the waves
Or the beat of a heart
That gazes in wonder and awe.
