A poem by Cate Williams

The Moon World and the Town

A half full moon shone with a gently rainbow light
Through clouds that were high and not dense
Creating a calm and gauzy marbled effect.
The light was white
With slight lavender and faintest gold tints.
Below were the colours of an urban city night
Orange street lamps, red and green traffic lights
White and red car head lamps.
There was a distinction
And a connection
Between the two lighted worlds.
One so down here, so of this place and town
One so ageless and eterna
lThat it asked for rolling hills
Or a still sea below
But the moon was with the city night
And so it had to be
Two worlds existing at one and the same time
The moon world and the town.
