Moonlit Buffet
Moonlit Buffet
Is that laughter I hear
floating about in the air
or the cooing of the breeze
as it teases the willow
to dance with giggling glee
before the sun sounds
its final drum beat
and night descends
------------
Inhale deeply…..
drown peacefully
with pleasure
as the honeysuckle
and wisteria share
their sweet potent scent
under cover of darkness
beguiling the succulent
to come and play
----------------
The softest of whispers
hear we now ……
the hushed soothing
sound in the darkness
as the breeze
gentles its breath
and the spider spins
another web with
thoughts of prey
dancing tautly,
wrapped and served warm
on her homemade
moonlit tray
