If our moon was not up there shining light
in the middle of the shadowy night,
the earth would wobble and shake so much
that humans would not likely have evolved.
*
That we can live and speak without trembling
is a happy marvel to celebrate
beyond ability to calculate.
We can still wander in liminal light
through meadows, rivers, deserts, or hilltops.
Moon cycles aided our evolution.
*
One may stand in wonder beneath the moon—
or dance if you like—and feel gratitude
for its shy, illuminating guidance
beyond our arrogant-boasting blindness.
