Glamouring Moon

Glamouring Moon

New Moon  September 14, 2023

The mark of a rainbow

is vanishing

After the gold astonishment

& showy glamouring

effortless appearance

Coolly fooling air

the mountain mouth blushes

into a leaning empty

Void gasp in mind stop

bands of sky snake

into mist

At the last cloud goodbye

nothing holding life

pure energy

Poem by Qayyum Johnson
