Luna Incognito

This moon is for you alone. 

It will morph, dwarf and flourish as it dives into your dreams.

You will see it spin into colors

like a swirling lollipop,

a twirling lemon drop or

a Christmas tree top.

This evening it may be a slender balloon animal of a spindly porcupine eating a pink marshmallow
or was it a sticky, orange jelabi?

First, you must be still.

That is all you can do at this moment.

You must endure the angst of uncertainty.

You will harden under the pain of patience,

Wait for it to turn into something recognizable, tolerable.

Explore every angle to see if there is a sign.

A code

a symbol

a wink

            a smile 

However, it’s at the moment of fatigue and frustration
when you have no strength

that the moon will reveal itself
and lend you the energy.
It will happen in its own time.

Do not rush.

The true form will be presented,
one that you will recognize.

An iridescent light will shimmer

upon those enduring in uncertainty
in the darkness.

You will be invigorated by 

the lightness,
the ripeness,
the robustness

of a single satellite,

      the traveler flying at night
            to lead others out of the darkness.
