In Simpatico


********************************************

The Night is scented
by the strangest perfume.
Its darkness,
both a sealed envelope,
and an expanding room.
How I'd like to get lost,
become swallowed up within It.
Lost but not lost
within Night's enfolding and unfolding arms.
Become one of Its moons
Its favorite charms,
becoming one with Its darkness.
The largesse of the Moon
and Her liquid golden light
luminescing me from within
and extending Her fingerlets to the Night.
I am like a shivering creature
in wondering flight
lingering beneath Her swoon.
The tilt of the Lunar's bemused brow,
the hidden knowledge of all that's now...
I could never feel more alive
emboldened
than in this moment.
The Moon and Night only serve to remind me,
of how unearthly creations are binded
and pair into great magic.
Her spotlight transforms His dark canvas,
His dark swath makes Her shine so much more, thus...
Wondrous alone, but how much better together
they two do refine.


*****************************************************


I might have been thinking of symmetry here.
And how opposities make, often the best and
most interesting and interested companions.
I wrote this July 27, 2017 thru August 1, 2017.
I suspect...it was a successive night of full
moon magic...and I was stirred by what I witnessed
to write this.
I WILL RETURN LATER TO EDIT ANY AWKWARDNESS
