MOONLESSLY   (11-17-1999, 1:00 a.m.; Galveston Island, Texas)  

 
                        
moonlessly    
     
i drift afar    
     
lost  unseen    
     
a darkened star    
     
until i bloom    
     
a sudden spark    
     
oh solar flower    
     
awakening briefly    
     
so deep in the fields    
     
of tranquility    
     
mind swept off    
     
into translucent terrains    
     
staggering obliquely    
     
beyond space and time    
     
the temporal    
     
framework of reality    
     
spinning away    
     
in luminous dreams    
     
my light    into light    
     
upon and across    
     
this fathomless sea    
     
of open   flowing  
   
all knowing  
 
all being  
   
ineffable  
     
eternity s
 
endless
 
road
 
we re each
 
and all
 
on
