Four Reflections

http://heartstonefeathers.com/2013/01/17/a-flight-feather-of-a-different-kind/

Four Reflections
At two in the eastern sky half of a
Waning Wolf Moon looks like a tilted bowl
Somewhere on that silver surface is
A Peregrine Falcon feather
Left there in 1971 by the astronauts of Apollo 15

I hadn’t met you yet...my love
Thoughts were far from dating days
Married ways, children grown
Enough to have their own
And a suburban home on the cities edge

At two in the eastern sky half of a
Waning Wolf Moon - I would like to think
Somewhere shines upon sleeping
Pairs of Peregrine Falcons that
Grace the clear skies here and now...

On good clear days in all seasons -
I have collected a few feathers
That have fallen from the skies and
Wonder if any could be from one of
My majestic feathered falcons...

 (and an Elfje)

 plumage
of one
Peregrine Falcon
lies silently on the
moon

    I love the image of the falcons. I traveled with them throughout your poem. :-)

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.
