Calling The Moon




The moon ‘wanted more of my night’ (hat tip to line from Dar Williams’ song ‘Calling The Moon’). 
No matter how much I tried to go back to sleep, her pull eventually brought me to the window.  Crickets and other night creatures were a-buzz in a chorus of ‘Brava!’ while the moon took center stage.  The more my eyes adjusted, I could even see a few stars in the sky…in supporting roles. 
The last verse of Dar Williams’ song kept playing over and over, in my mind: 
“Calling the moon,
'Cause I know what it's worth,
To tug at the seas and illumine the earth,
Oh, I am calling the moon, Oh, I am calling the moon.”
