When I Stopped to Watch the Moon

It all came as a sudden desire

The red moon that stopped me was like a ball of fire

It had gleamed in the night

Before dream overtook me

I had dreamed for its sight

I am taken aback by the dark cluster in it,

Taken to the face of the hill

I am lifted closer,

Lifted closer to it, by the sweep of the air

I have stopped for the moon, or

Can I say tonight that the moon has stopped me?
