24 April 2019 | National Poetry Month WebPoetrySlam

April 24, 2019 By Annis Cassells

 Complement
 
 
 
The moon is filling,
Rounding himself with power and light.
Mother Ocean reaches up,
White caps and strong waves.
 
He throws his light everywhere;
She pulls it into her depths.
He laughs.
 Her waves roil.
 
He lights her way
as her waters move to gently lap the sand;
His light spreading, reaching,
Her calming presence covering.
 
They are one.
The Universe smiles.

~ Judy Kukuruza

    “The universe smile.” My favorite line and by the way, I am also smiling!
