You Watch The Moon

You speak of moonlight, while I sweat,
Your evening hasn’t got here yet.
The moon you see, will shine for me,
As I lie down with memory,

My worries, and the day’s heartaches,
And all the pain from my mistakes.
I gather calmness from the dusk,
And breathe the scents of evening’s musk,

The twilight brings the evening’s calm,
And confidence from your song’s balm.
For you have seen this day and night,
And found it not a source for fright.

You faced the challenge, and in time,
Incorporated it in rhyme.
You walked with Day and held it’s hand,
While you stood strong in a foreign land.

The heart of evil that will try,
To harm us must first face your eye,
And you will cause its force to wither,
Before it dares to journey hither.

We thank you then for standing there,
While we sleep soundly without care.
Your loved ones and a grateful nation,
Protected from War’s desolation,

A world away, but held so close,
Each of us missing what we love most.
Take heart that as you watch the moon,
Your task will end, you’ll come home soon.

Currently in post flood cleanup.
No real damage at my position.
This may change after the next wave of rain from Thursday through to Saturday.

Yeah.
The local communist rag newspaper's website has pics of some of the flooding.
Of course, they don't show the true scope of it and to those who don't know the area there will be a 'lost in translation' effect due to no frame of reference to judge the images from.

Yes, but some of the pics look like little more than water filled potholes.
And having seen what the imaged spot looks like normally...
The pics of obvious destruction are the ones that are easily understood.

What lies behind you and

What lies before you are

Small matters compared to

What lies within you.





A slice of life and Vitamin C:
nutritious wherever you lie.

Oh my I am sorry about all the flooding.. we had many power outages over the weekend & I had not kept up too much on all the news and all the weather ramifications.

Good luck & prayers heading your way for you & yours...
