Lucid Lunatic

The moon waxes beneath 
the sleepy shadow 
of its own halo.

By the mirror lake 
a lucid lunatic 
waxes poetic.

There he listens and 
sways to the tempo 
and rhythm that go

with the tune of colors, 
tints and hues 
of the lunar rainbow.

These he alone sees 
and hears in the night 
with deepest delight.

He grins at the moon and 
wakeful hours he can't keep, 
crawls back to sleep!
