LONG NIGHT MOON

by David Knape

Draw lovers closer
draw sea tides
draw us together
side by side
at Christmas time
the long moon arrives
in it's warm glow
all earth abides.

*That extra lunar glow is the result of the Moon's phase and the time of year. The Moon will be full in the wee hours of Christmas day. It lines up opposite the Sun in the sky, so it rises around sunset and sets around sunrise. - the shortest day of the year. The shortest days are accompanied by the longest nights. So December's full Moon is known as the Long Night Moon.
