Walking With a New Moon

For Mrs. Anneliese Konig – a graceful and loving mother

I am stunned right out of the door
People say that you enter a long dream
But you are high up in the winter sky
Maybe they are right
I see the beautiful curve of your sleeping eyes

I start to walk in your clear light
With the shadow you create for me
When I turn back to wave a thank you
A rose arch is shining in the dark blue sky
It resembles your lovely gift on my desk

When trees take away my shadow
I raise my head to search you
A white feather is floating swiftly through the branches
How do you know it
I keep one to make you a dream catcher

Winter leaves are rustling on the lawn
When I cross the silent campus
You change into a big smile in the pink blue sky
A splendid day opens right behind
Have a sweet dream, Moon Mama, thank you!
