Wacko Waxing Poetic

the moon waxes 'neath
     the sleepy shadow
          of its own halo
as yonder by the mirror 
     lake, a lucid lunatic
         waxes poetic

as he listens and sways
     to the tempo and 
          rhythm that go
with the tunes of colors,
     red to violet, in the
          lunar rainbow

which he alone clearly
     hears in the night
          with deep delight
he grins at the moon,
     hours he can't keep,
          crawls back to sleep.
