dear full moon–
give me a chapter to wait for
an ending worth reading
and turning the page for
*
make what’s disjointed and wrong
feel right.
knit the pieces together
this bright, sacred night
*
I don’t ask for much
but I do want myself.
without that, nothing I find
seems to help
*
and waiting on signs
isn’t good for your health.
on this night, I ask you
please, make it make sense–
*
the story I've walked through
without the full picture
just praying on fate
with her grace to come through
*
cast your light on my life
and, in the glow of beginnings,
I’ll put down my arms
and give thanks for you

Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

Nice
Oh this is beautiful and I'm not a fan of moon poetry. Well I am and I'm not lol. I loved how open and vulnerable this was, very personal sounding. Great work.
Lovely and inspiring verse. I have linked from my review here. Hope that's okay. https://shopping-feedback.today/writers/still-looking-for-ideas-for-your-under-a-spell-entry%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
All that Iverson walked through without the full picture. That line resonated so deeply with me! Loved your poem!
Last night's full moon certainly was one to drop the arms & for which to give thanks.
Definitely feeling this poem and this moon, too.
You have a true talent for writing. I must say that this was a very well-written piece that I also enjoyed a lot.🤦♂️❤👌
Beautiful verse! I’m pretty in love with the moon, and currently looking directly at this powerful full moon as I read…letting your words be my prayer. Well done, Joelle! ✨💫 🌝
A prayer from my own heart! I loved every verse 🕊️✨✨🙏
We wish this for you too! 😊 Nice work Joelle. 👏 We’ve been having the full moon out a lot here of late! ☺️
Such a gorgeous poem!
