Cosmic Masquerade

Starry night sky above --- starry night sky below --- reflected in a restless sea: twin nocturnal profiles face off, touch nose to nose --- share stars for eyes --- the wind that meets the water. Floating in darkness the silvery moon rises - intriguingly, inscrutably --- dark side, light side hidden from each other, man in the moon ghastly. Baleful lunar eyes hover, looming mirrored, awash in inky waves. Glorious morning yawns. Hidden somewhere in the firmament she waits, and she waits some more, leaning against the wings. Beguilingly draped, she anticipates - her next sweeping entrance. ... All Creation --- benign yet indifferent --- gathers Her own, draws them ever closer, --- finely tuned, outrageously only approximate --- , the union of yin and yang. Both tumble along as one, --- celestial dice rolling --- swept bobbing w/ the tide, transcendence disguised, transcendence revealed.
