the sun has given way
a few clouds have appeared
shortly after, the first of the night stars arrive
as the starlight glistens atop subtle waves
once again I am astounded by the evening sky
such a glorious portrait nature has stenciled
breathing in the cool, crisp air
the surrounding commotion of the day, slowly relenting
finally silence
then reverence
more than a mere conception
peace and oneness reawakens within me
I feel the familiar presence of my friend, the star in the distance
looking up towards it, I smile
on this night, together we laugh
it’s light as shone on me many of nights
watching as tears rinsed away my troubles and fears
…as smiles illuminated my joy and ambitions
never flouting against my innermost
always there
then I think of the few with whom this place I shared
considering how the cosmos entwined our individual existence
delicate words
precious feelings
hope, splendor, validation
momentary yet eternal
I can only offer my gratitude
water fowl and other nocturnal creatures gather around
seems they want to share in these serene moments also
drifting away as I often do when I am here
again I can almost touch the stars
all I know is that when I am here
I am all knowing
I know LOVE
tonight I will sit here until the moon gives way

Entrancing. More like a caress than a poem. I felt as if I were leaning back into you, held against your chest, in this place, watching this vista, you stroking my upper arms, as you spoke these words.
ReplyDeleteI caught a glimpse ... you more than knew love ... you were love encompassed.
