Lunar Reflections

Fullest of full moons dwarfs
the indigo hued night
Her golden features are exquisitely incised
like the most delicate netsuke
Yet her circumference blurs into
a misshapen halo
A rare apparition diminished
by my failing vision
Another loss to bear or
a grace filled metaphor?
Her overflowing fullness is that of
a compassionate heart with
Gratitude wider than
the universe itself

Endnote: On March 19 we were privileged to see the 'fullest of full moons' accordiing to the astronomers.
