the light within night . . .

the light within night

upon the almost still waters of the Lake

in the almost still night

i look upon the reflection

where Heaven meets Earth

the gentle lapping waves

are dancing with the Stars

and the Moon sits in the Audience

as do i

in wonder of this holy embrace

i hear a almost still breeze

rustling the hairs of my arm

and the leaves of the wood as well

telling of it’s journey

of the day

whispering of it’s existential joys

of life

i sit through the intermission

of this divine performance

for i have become mesmerized

by the emotions and concerto of movement

the Cosmic now shares

with us who are earth bound

and the sounds of the almost speaking

becomes indelibly clear

and a tear of reverence

is shed

and runs down my cheek

for i have had a peek

at the light within night
