With Your Guidance
>> Tuesday, October 14, 2008
I make my way down this quiet sidewalk.Every step of my way, I'm guided by you.
Those strong arms of yours
reach from such a distance though envelops me completely.
Protecting me with your celestial powers.
I round the corner.
For a moment I thought I lost you.
But there you were,
Ever present.
You were just playing
peek-a-boo with me through that huge oak tree.
I see you.
Your golden limbs
reach down and grazes each blade of grass I walk through
In awe I turn my face up
and feel you caress my cheek.
I'm engulfed by you.
Illuminated.
Under your protection.
I make it home.

Footnote:
The above photo was taken by me at approximately 8:24 PM October 14, 2008. It is an unretouched photo of the Hunter Moon.
There are alternate names for each moon with in a month. This full moon is called The Hunter's Moon. This moon follows the Harvest Moon, is essentially the first full moon that is closest to the Autumn Equinox that occurred on September 22. Both the Harvest Moon and the Hunter Moon are seen as special due to both moons 'appearing' much brighter, larger and lower hanging than the other 10 moons within the year. Though they aren't any different in size or brightness, they are unique due to both of them rising about a half hour earlier than what's typical Moon-rise time. This provides more light for a longer period of time. This 'additional light' was used by farmers to pick their crops and by men to hunt for food. Hence, the names Harvest Moon and Hunter's Moon.
