Romance Is in the Air

It is the night of the "super moon" according to news reports. At 3:42 AM today, the moon will be full and at its closest point to Earth.

What is it about the moon that has always inspired poetic hearts. Is it that it lights our way in the night? Is it the mystery of knowing it exists and whether there is anyone there looking back at us? Is it the "face" on the moon-- that so-called "man on the moon."

Love songs paint scenes of moonlit romance. Poets paint visions of romance by moonlight with their verse. Mariners followed the moon across the sea by night. Even lonely wolves sing to the moon.

Yes, it is mysterious. It is a symbol of creation. It is a guiding light. It is beautiful. And now, it is looming large in the night sky.

Somehow, it reminds me of a song... you, and the night, and the music...

Yes, romance is in the air, indeed.
