tuesday night (july 19, 2016) is the full moon for the month of july. in line with that, i recently discovered south african-born, philadelphia-raised musician gregory alan isakov from a subaru car commercial with his song "time will tell," and that led to me stumbling across another song of his which is a sort of ode to the glowing sky-gem of night.
"that moon song" by this musician has a few lines of lyrics which are heartstring-pulling to say the least and quite parallel with thinking about moon poems.
here are some of the most moon-ish lyrics from this song by isakov.
*
and ahh, that full bellied moon, she's a-shinin' on me
yeah she pulls on this heart like she pulls on the sea
and you came on strong like some running wave
and your beauty left me broke and hungry
left me begging to the birds for a bone or an offering
left me saying nothin'; nothin', like i always say
*
consider using these words and ideas to help you conjure your own moon poems tonight, tomorrow, and in the next few upcoming nights or anytime you stop and really slow down to notice the moon above, far into the future.
