How vast and pervasive is the Moon? Hugeness hints there stand two Orbs and a turbulent stream Simply like the dawning sun All over the half-moon horizon. On the shore of credulity The froth shed detritus and sea salt Carving a path into level sand Slicing the weft out of silk By cutting across the fabric kernel The waves were sealed on the scanty shore The furor was in harmony with the dust Pearl-like seaweed and scrubber. Moonlight over the Sea at Dawn It is ideal and so spectacularly tempting The churning water bred white foam I am enthusiastic to have the plunge The tendons, sinews, and guts were all wary A season invests these twilight hours Fetch the ache and gentleness Misleading magnetism My inner mermaid is hopeless The moon was merely out of the embrace. It related me to a no-blue world Spume was kicked by white ponies As they did in our fourth year of dreams Cantering toward the welling of time In the utter stiffness at the two ends Do not feel dire about shedding tears The spectrum of the dull light We never noticed.

Beautifully blended in stellar and earth's images. Dwelling on ebb and flow of time.
