ground swell the day moon draws closer

__Your well posed verse Martin, it caused this, my humble reverberation. _m
heavy seas as this full moon pulls the tide thunder sounds
Thanks Magyar for your comment and poem.
groundswell — or as the poet has it here: "ground swell"– an interesting word or phrase
in both definitions–either in popular support or a wave in the ocean
the common denominator is the unexpected
which is how the day moon often feels to me when I glimpse its presence
always there–it seems–tone on tone, half-hidden
that it "draws closer" adds a surprise element to the unexpectedness
of course, makes me think of the political atmosphere of these times . . .
Thanks for your interesting comment, Peter.
Took me back to my childhood and those first questions about the sky …
daytime moon – my first question why
Thanks Jane for your comment.
There is a magic in the day moon, and you've captured that so beautifully.
