March 10, 2014 – Thought and Poem Most times when I get ready for bed, I sit on the edge of my bed and look out my window. There is something about nighttime that seems to help us to gather thoughts. Thoughts about our day, the new day coming and perhaps dreams and goals we might have. Tonight, my thoughts were on the moon and the trees that beautify the night sky…that cast their shadows on my bedroom wall. There is a peace about this scene that I have seen many times over, even for years. After sitting for a little while, I am ready to get in my bed, under the covers and close my eyes for the night. What about you? When you look up at a darkened sky at the end of your day, what does it say to you? Share your thoughts with us…Jeanne Claire Probst Moon Shadows The moon cast its shadow on me, while I was doing some thinking, As I sat quietly on my bed, my eyes weighed by tiredness, were blinking. I knew that soon I would be sleeping and off into dreamland, For now though, the moonbeams had my attention, as I sat playing with my hands. Out my window, the trees stood in the darkness before the moons face, Dancing in the soft wind and doing so with grace. They cast their shadows upon my bedroom wall, While the moon shed her moonlight on us all. How often I have admired this bedtime scene, me sitting on my bed, the moon, and the trees in between. The shadows play their music as they guide me through the night, And before I know it, the moon and the shadows are gone, and the trees are now standing in the daylight. Jeanne Claire Probst
