Moon Flowers

Luminescence in pond
reflecting couple in love
romancing in moonlight
exhilarated by mist
from chocolate fragrant 
berlandiera daisies
caressing hearts.
Moon winks
walking away vagrant
cradling sun to sleep
in vain
its lidless fiery eye 
radiating heat and light 
to rotating earth
nearing its light 
to plug into 
its energy
to feed life
then move
from its embrace  
to cool down.
In beauty and silence
the sun
nourishes without 
being nourished
self sufficient
like dare I say God
growing life in beauty
of serenity
interlacing elegance
of flowers and leaves
liquifying waters
of snowflakes and ice
splendor 
of each season 
returning
until eyelids close
to its light
and open to a Light
without night. 
Look a new day has begun
sun rising from satiny 
rose bed
sweeps with its rays
of white light 
darkness out of the sky 
awaking birds on wires
with songs and chatter
opening sleepy flowers 
to bees and butterflies
sparkling water diamonds 
to mist and vanish 
like soul immortal
returning in cycle.
