The azure horizon
is first lit up
by a white radiance
like a pale sunrise
or a sunset afterglow
I leave the drapes open
like a lovers’ signal
for a secret meeting
gazing out the window
shiny-eyed in anticipation
Clouds appear
silvery and succulent
like they have eaten the moon
are with bursting
with moonlight
An advance party
a nebulous cavalcade
pulling up the moon
from the pit of the horizon
on wispy reins
I grow impatient,
after all the moon is revolving
at this crazy speed
and yet it makes me
wait and wait
But all good things in life
take their time
when I look up there it is
all bashful, borrowed light
limpid, liquid smile
pouring into me
deliciousness
I understand now
why the seas heave
their forever sighs
~~~
Enjoyed
