Blue Moon
By Ashley O’Hare
It happens once in a blue moon;
you get to smile
and truly forget the world.
For a brief moment
all is well.
For a fraction of a second
you cannot imagine being anywhere else.
Then the hurricane shifts—
you’re no longer in the eye.
Fact and fantasy collide
in the depths of your mind;
impossible to tell apart
and we will never understand why.
So cherish your blue moonlit night.
Life is not consistently kind.
