February Moon

The February moon
Was well filled
It waxed fantastic
Ringed with a rainbow
Nearly full
Surrounded
By the spectrum
And all the stars
In the infinite
Skies and space
Beyond perception
I propose
Which exquisite wonders
Will follow
As I am graced
With the sight
On a clear night
Once hazed by fog
Off-cast due to wind
I realize
The rhythm
When I read into
The rhyme
I find
A need
To remain aware
And continue
To be impressed
By each successive breath
As this February moon
Fills me
With awe
