Full Moon over Christmas

Full moon over Christmas

all the light the night sky​​ 

can send

to a world mired in fear

and despair.

Full moon over Christmas

all the light the night sky

can send

to fleeing refugees and​​ 

the safe and secure​​ alike.

Full moon over Christmas

all the light the night sky

can send

to the graves of children

gunned down​​ to save​​ our perverse rights.

Full moon over Christmas

all the light the night sky

can send

proving that even reflected

light produces​​ shadows in darkness;

shadows that overlap

and interact

even if we cannot.
