I must confess that spectral appearance
reddened by the gracious moon
draped
over the sky would never escape my memory,
this is something
that you can’t describe nor share the experience with anyone.
What binds us to life?
What conjures the milky stars?
What distinguishes us from other living creatures?
I would never figure out.

The imagery of your opening lines paints a picture of its own. A truly memorable sight to behold.
Thank you so much, Kerry 😀 so glad you liked it ❤️
(and thank you for the lovely prompt) 🌹
What distinguishes us from other living creatures? A most apt question for this picture. The fact that we are human in itself distinguishes us – animals are real in their emotions and humans can be so very false.
Definitely 😀 thanks for stopping by, Toni ❤️
Your hare contemplates as we do the mysteries of life and what brings these thoughts to our minds more than a fell moon on a clear night. A lovely poem. 🙂

And why does the moon appear to be larger when it is near the horizon? (Answer: No one knows.) I like your series of questions.

Thank you so much, Jim 😀 so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Love it from beginning to end. There are questions that never lead us to answers, but when they are ones of wonder I don’t mind. It just keeps me in a galaxy of imagination.
