[Quentin Byrne-Sutton]

My Friend the Moon

The moon has appeared without a sound pregnant in the Eastern sky,
waiting to help me on my way.
The night is blue,
infused with yellow rays.

I turn off my headlamp,
eyes adjusting to the softer light.
The moon has flooded the cirque of snow and ice, ridges are cut out in black like moon shadow.

We are alone together; our eyes meet.
The earth is revolving underfoot
but the moon and stars are turning too,
that I may keep my balance on the moon path.

Gazing at my friend the moon,
I think of those I love
imagine ponies galloping on moonlit plains,
wild and fiery eyed,
fish gliding under translucent ice, in a moonbeam, blue turbans of Touaregs winding through the night.

Following the moon from East to West
I reflect on man’s arrogance,
but am soothed by its rays,
knowing that moonlight comes from the sun as it treads the Milky Way,
with all planets spinning through the universe;
our pretentious ways as short-lived as a shooting star.
Meanwhile,
the night’s blueness has blended seamlessly
into light of day,
and for a moment the sky belongs to neither night or day,
as my friend the moon fades, translucent, in the Western sky, as if to say:
“I am only a passer by”.
