Windswept tears and boomerang fears
clears, but never quite disappears
seeking ways to become immune
on the other side of the moon
hiding here, but throwing clues there
juxtaposed desires ensnare
the heart, it retreats into a cocoon
on the other side of the moon
look for truth behind the danger
pay homage to love, the stranger
to hearts that land wherever strewn
on the other side of the moon
windswept tears and boomerang fears
on the other side of the moon.

Your time is good, I was just out looking at the moon. I love how you capture the human contradiction

Ah.... two of my favorites, the full moon and the Kyrielle sonnet! Well done, such a beautiful Supermoon it was. And how lucky, we will see two more, on January 2 and 31! :) <3
