Copper Moon

A remote beach calls me with a symphony of crystal sea sound.
Swimming free under a Copper Moon shining atop the waves
Fears are banished into the midnight phosphorus of indigo blue
My heart is so full and I know that I am homeward bound.

I surrender my soul to the wonders of The Holy One
I weep for joy as the tentacles of humanity gently slip away
The Copper Moon escorts me through the peace I have found
Holy baptism fuels me yet again and I know that I am homeward bound.

My brother

I remember how you loved cinnamon toast and Saturday cartoons.
I remember when I cried in the dark, you came to my room and made me laugh
We whispered and giggled until we saw the man in the moon.
We scurried back to bed when we heard Dad coming.
You are my hero, my comedian and friend and brother for life and beyond…
