OVER AND LIGHT
I saw a winking moon
hide behind
kingly pines
sending silver
liquid beams
through thick boughs
as a full-faced moon
lighted my path
to home.
MOON SPACE
an autumn moon
crawls sideways
overhead
through pines
smiling like chrome
without sound
drawing my eyes
as if pulled
by strong tides
I gaze
not for just
a moment
but I search
as I have
countless times
its cold distant face
and will again
when pleasantly
captured by
its presence
