Enchantment ~ Emily Dickenson
The Moon
by, Emily Dickinson
The moon was but a chin of gold
A night or two ago,
And now she turns her perfect face
Upon the world below.
Her forehead is of amplest blond;
Her cheek like beryl stone;
Her eye unto the summer dew,
The likest I have known.
Her lips of amber never part;
But what must be the smile
Upon her friend she could bestow
Were such her silver will!
And what a privilege to be
But the remotest star!
For certainly her way might pass
Beside your twinkling door.
Her bonnet is the firmament,
The universe her shoe,
The stars the trinkets at her belt,
Her dimities of blue.
THROUGH THE HEALING LENS 
Nice series. These almost seem like the sun because the moon is so bright.

thanks Minka! Yes – was a strikingly bright moon. I did not expect to see it, but got a little side tracked on my walk and was there later than I should have been. Pleasant surprise (and photo-op:)).

Interesting you and Minka boththought this.The sun photos I’ve taken have a different mood – more explosive and bright. This was an unusually bright moon though – Monday evening!

Thank you much dianne. Was a little out of my ‘comfort zone’ shooting something as grand as ‘the moon’ — but was so taken by it (and surprised to see it appear during a daytime walk that lasted too long) that I clicked away! Remembered that poem from way back and had to pair them!
Warm wishes your way! RL
