yet we trauma bond with desire
why does light before darkness...

Regal Reign
A subtle shift in the shadows of sunset
exposes the splendid Moon as She rises.
Just as a cunning gambler hedges his bet
She shines Her best displaying Her surprises.
She slinks across the restless sky, a coquette,
limning traits...

goes back to our earliest ancestry
when, in a garden, a couple
ate one and got us all in trouble.
Now, had the apple been arsenic

Hidden in plain sightThe seemingly motionless vastness of space,
at times teases, revealing pores in its skin,
through which we see flickers of light as God’s grace,

and the truth of our true being...
