Twilight Moon



I love seeing the moon when it’s still light
Before darkness turns the day to night,
Bright and bold, but sometimes shy
It glows so brightly in the sky,

The moon is elusive, like a fox in a den
It only shows up now and then,
Changing its shape, moving place to place
I’m grateful when it shows its face!

      Thanks! I did do a piece on July 1st so it's not as much of a dry spell as when I went three months not blogging. I am sporadic, that's for sure!

    Lovely lines! In the evenings, when there is still some daylight and the moon appears, I feel a thrill and take it as some kind of sign for good times to come.

      I like how you take it as a sign of good times to come. So positive. I will adopt that idea, too. Thanks, Aditi!

    I love it too when there's still some daylight left and the moon is there, as if early to the party 😊

      I like the idea of the moon being early to the party. That's so fun!

      Thanks, Raj! Yes, I find the moon mystical and magical, too. I love how it constantly changes throughout the month and how it can look so different as it moves around in the sky. A twilight moon is extra special, I find.

    I seriously think you should publish your poetry Cat. The moon is beautiful and always lovely to watch. I often recall childhood years when we used to sleep on the roof under the stars and moon and imagine all kinds of fantastic stories. Hugs!

      Thanks for the support and encouragement for my poetry, Vidya. So kind of you. What a magical memory of sleeping on the roof and looking up at the moon and stars while imagining stories.

    Like a fox... I love that line! It's hide-n-seek with the clouds, I've wondered many a times how the moon has its own personality... unlike the Sun.

      So true that the moon has its own personality and is always changing.

    I love moon watching too. There is something so haunting and pretty about it. Of course, I love the full moon especially the pale yellow one.

      I love that pale yellow moon, too. I like the big huge orange moon that hovers near the horizon sometimes. It's always changing in size, shape and is often elusive which makes it that much more special when it shows up.

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
