Full “super” moon<\/p>\n
illuminated my walk to the beach<\/p>\n
Mid-August night<\/p>\n
Is a gentle reminder<\/p>\n
of summer’s end.<\/p>\n
People on porches,<\/p>\n
shadowed by candles,<\/p>\n
talk, banter, guffaw,<\/p>\n
whisper, share libations<\/p>\n
and points of view…<\/p>\n
“Israel and Palestine…”<\/p>\n
“When I was in Ireland..”<\/p>\n
“Remember the time…”<\/p>\n
“She told me…”<\/p>\n
“Don’t forget to bring…”<\/p>\n
“See you in the morning..”<\/p>\n
Snippets of conversation<\/p>\n
Of which I am no part<\/p>\n
And yet,<\/p>\n
As I make my way<\/p>\n
to the moonlit water<\/p>\n
I understand<\/p>\n
that I am part of<\/p>\n
those conversations<\/p>\n
for they are ageless.<\/p>\n
Summer night gatherings<\/p>\n
to be stored<\/p>\n
in the treasury<\/p>\n
of my heart<\/p>\n
as timeless<\/p>\n
as my beloved ocean.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
