Albert Herdianto Widjojo
At two thirty
night light balls
which is reddish
completely covered by shadows
leaving a dark ball of faint redness
the longer it fades
getting flushed
a magic that makes forget
the itch of mosquito bites
embraced the awe
flying thousands of imaginations
then get rid of the mind out of the sense
bringing attention beyond space
so far away
until my beloved voice
calls my earth name
and the red that became darker
still stay there
accompanied by other red stars.

Not sure how I missed this post Albert. One of my favorite subjects. I love moon watching.
Great poem.
That’s okay, Carol. I Know that you have so many things to do lately, as I still also should do something else so cannot visit all of your posts too.
And yes, I love moon watching too…
Thanks for the compliment.
You are always welcome. Take care.
May you always have a good and beautiful day, Carol.
Our place is not one of the blood moon viewing places but I did get a really good photo of the morning moon at dawn.
Indeed I don’t know which parts of the earth can see the blood moon and the lunar eclipse that time, but I’m glad that you have got a good photo of the morning moon.

It was raining here so sadly I did not get to see it. But I did watch someone video of it.
It was unfortunate that it had rained in that special moment, but perhaps the rain had made the natural event even more special though it could not be witnessed.
I love those moments of the moon cycle. I did not see him this time. I was very tired after a seven-hour business day as a maid in the rich house where I work from Monday to Friday. I’m not sure if it could be seen at all from Spain.
I am glad that you work and understand that you must be exhausted.
I also do not know if the lunar eclipse can be seen in other countries, that’s why I ask through this poll. Thanks, Elenka.
Yeah! it has looked so beautiful, is not it?
That’s great, TaS. You are lucky, my friend
Ah wonderful Albert. We had one not too long ago. I love lunar eclipses. Great poem too.
Thanks, Kim. I think the lunar eclipse yesterday was very special because it lasted for more than 100 minutes.
Wow, that is a long time to enjoy such a wonder. Big smiles!
Yes, Kim. It was so special! Thanks
We witness an eclipse but not recently where we live. It was a sight to see. Great Post
Thanks for the compliment, LaJenna. Full moon and lunar eclipse this time is really special.
Unfortunately I forgot to look!
Well, very unfortunate, my friend. It looked very magical!
Honestly, I am not sure of what ‘s the difference between a new moon and a lunar eclipse.
Actually, I’m not so sure that you do not know the difference… lol… let alone we can easily find it on the internet, but I also include an answer that might help me respond to your comments.
