This is for the dVerse prompt, “Grace.” Things were off for my New Year’s Eve and New Year’s, but I was struck by the brilliant moon. I felt there was a message there, if only I could hear it.
The moon hums with a fierce light
glowing
throwing
pale white heat
we do not hear or feel it,
the insistent beat
on rural roads or city streets,
though she hums aloud
we’re lost in darkness
lost, frozen, under this
tenebrous cloud
but if we stop,
listen for a space
(pause)
here in this unknown place
look upon a well-loved face
find here, see, a bit of grace
in love constant, shining like the moon
like her humming tune,
hear the whisper in the wind,
hope is coming, listen, soon
Yesterday and today: Merril's historical musings 
Always listening for the whisper of hope. Lovely poem.
Thanks so much, Paul.
I had to go to dverse to find this (thanks WP) ! Humming her secret songs, I so much believe in the moon 🙂
Thanks for finding it, Jane.
The moon and her songs, yes, I believe, too. 🙂
I love reading poems that echo what I want to be true 🙂
I do, too. 🙂 I’m glad you liked it.

I like the thought of the moon reminding us that hope lives on in those around us.
Thank you, Ken. I felt she had a message. I guess it’s my interpretation as to what that message is. 😉
Quiet reflections
Thank you, Derrick.
I especially love that pause… lovely…. I would so love to hear it read.
Oh, thank you, Björn! That is such a lovely comment. Maybe I will try to do a reading/recording. 🙂
Beautiful comparisons! Grace in the face of it all if we but look!
Dwight
Thank you so much, Dwight!
That moon is showing up everywhere…clearly it’s magical. I’m still percolating it myself, and I haven’t even looked at all the photos I took yet. She IS humming…I can hear her right now…(K)
Thanks, Kerfe. She is definitely humming! 🙂
oh, the whisper and the wish, this is charming Merril, so gentle
Thank you, Damien. 🙂
This included words which to me are not only about the moon, but about enduring, timeless Love.
Fierce,
Grace,
Insistent,
Well-loved face,
Love constant.
So much within these words in meaning and content, Merril. ❤
Thank you, Robin.
