Poem

Devoted rays of sunshine heat, 
Like ribboned baubles on the lake, 
Ride slow the roll of waves to meet 
The pebbled shore where urchins bake. 

Sporadic faded slate-gray clouds 
Invade the space of empty sky 
Away from crushing caustic crowds 
Where silent sounds are sure to die. 

The gilded glitter mixed in sand, 
Will sparkle through late afternoon, 
When new dawn wakes another land 
And evening breezes greet our moon. 

The darkness calls eternal stars, 
As old and bold Orion sighs, 
We drink our tea from half-quart jars 
And plaintive loons cry their goodbyes. 

The moon is blue and cold-bone white, 
Illuminated lunacy; 
It steals your mind away at night 
Transforming your identity. 

A fairy tale we know untrue 
But children love to hear it told 
Though even they don't misconstrue 
What is the truth as lies unfold. 

We huddle round a heated pit 
With sleeping angel progeny - 
The product of a perfect fit 
When eros was reality. 

The measure of this treasured day, 
Now dimmed by night's consumptive cloak, 
Is cherished children as they played 
With us the shell around the yoke.
