Inner Light

This night was kissed
 with white satin light 

with gentle ease
 the breeze
 lifted my curtain
 in the rhythm
 of my heart

Sepia shadows
 rippled on the roof
 the hum of crickets
 reverberated
 through the air
 this was a discovery
 of unfailing peace

this munimented minute
 I etched into my mind
 as a memory pearl
 and means to escape 

in the cacophony
 of a cyclone of time
 as sadness falls
 onto my face 

I will remember
 this moment
 in the nothingness
 of silent thought

knowing
 I only have to
 close my eyes
 to recapture this
 unvarnished sight
