I saw the moon setting
As I drove to work
Early this morning.
It hung over the horizon,
Round and orange,
Its beauty suspended
Over the blackness of trees
The shadows of houses.
The full moon
Reminds me that life goes on
Even in the midst
Of chaos, of grief,
Of confusion or hopelessness.
Hold on to hope, to beauty,
To love, to the assurance
That no matter what we face,
God is there beside us, saying,
“You are my beloved.”
