Poems
I tried to capture you
You alluded me. I smelled fresh moonlight, felt your light bless me and I wonder… Perhaps these moments are just to be between us, deep within, held close in the tapestry of my inner being, gazing at the moon. I am offered a window to the unseen God. My heart opens and gratitude flows, knowing the Divine is not absent, but a living light. Shining in all beings Patti Joy Posan - Sewanee, TN
