You woke me in the starless, silent dawn

to show me your funny moon,

reduced in the emptiness of air

to a sliver of flat white smile.


Your breath blew it onto its back to rock like a child's toy.

Two pointed corners tipped up in a grin

on a small round face of luminous fog;

It looked like a mischievous ghost pumpkin

peeking in my window.


The face in the erased sky had no nose or eyes;

yet, it looked in my window with the drape pushed aside.

It was such a comic sight - this face like a sticker

pressed on the ceiling of space;

A moon upside down with a smile in place.


Thank You for showing me your funny moon,

as though You had nothing else to do but play.

Psalm 139: 17-18 "How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God!
How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in
number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee."
