A poem to hook you in:

UNDER A TWILIT MOON

The night wore on
under the twilit moon –
purple, half-sunk,
half-risen over the flaming sea.
Thoughts twirl
 and ebb and flow
 and curl up against jagged stones,
clinging to the only safety
the mind has ever known.  A car,
an infant, a teardrop mother: 
all waiting silently
for that peace to come.
But lo, here’s innocence,
bright-shining under a starless sky;
purity of youth lost to age.  And thus,
there find me, cold and broken,
aged past morning
and into evening.  Now here I sit,
under a twilit moon –
purple, half-sunk,
and rising into the gloom.
