Hunter's Moon
I gingerly followed my father as he
strode out into the night.
With our dogs Midnight and Shadow
keeping us in their sight.
It was an October night with a
beautiful full moon.
My father explained that this was a
Hunter's full moon.
This moon comes up as soon as
the sun disappears.
The lack of darkness does not set
aside my fears.
Although hunting for animals is very
deep rooted.
To this task my heart was truly not
suited.
I was so glad that night we came back
with no prey.
Did my father arrange this, I really
can't say.
