The strawberry moon
And the setting sun made love
On midsummer night
In the magical gloaming  
Of a celestial rite
Winteringham, Lincolnshire. 20/21 June 2016.
At one end of the village was the big rising moon, a pale yellow and at the other a setting sun both on the same level. In between them they created this wonderfully still air and a magical gloaming. As the sun set, a few horizontal orange clouds streaked across it while the moon replied with grey shadows of her seas and mountains in great detail

This is such a lovely poem dear Harry. I'm glad that you got to witness such a precious celestial rite. (and sorry I didn't notice your poem in my inbox for a while). Canada by KmyGraphic
