Canopy
By moon light and starry night
The wisest of trees bare a canopy
The harboring eves
The wind-dancing leaves
Shadowy silhouette masquerade on your skin
Perfume of your body circulates by the wind
Moon stretches and strains to kiss you
Through the bounty of leaves, branches, atmosphere
But only opalescent slivers break through
So alive is the world as it reflects off of you
Such beauty projected from you
Such life manifested from your own
I watch in awe, at your side
Beneath the canopy
