Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Times Like This

At times like this--
(the petting of moonlight)
(awakens in me
a deeper stillness)
reaching for a treasured
formless place
I recall
guiltless floating--

relieved of all sharp corners 
(my reason for retreat)
seaside 
I enter a radiant eye...

(translucent wave with center
washes over me
a safe wade from 
the splattered shore)
fresh with 
renewed buoyancy
I reclaim 
a fluid nest....

That is nearer Divine. Joseph P.
