1-12-20, 8:31pm, while soaking outside in a 105° spa, Palm Springs, California

   
looking up    
into eastern    
night sky    
where fractured    
waning moon lights    
luminous    
broken    
pale amber shards    
peer mystically    
down at me    
with its    
silent    
gothic stares    
ghostly beauty    
through lace like    
silhouetted    
branches    
limbs and boughs  
and leaves  
of unseen    
larger    
sleeping trees    
distant stance between us    
me and this    
haunted looking    
rising moons    
stealthy    
slo mo  arcing  path    
up into    
then out across    
this still    
forthcoming    
softly unfolding    
sweet mid winter    
desert nights    
newly fallen    
nocturnal show    
to capture    
my senses    
full attention    
here in    
this very moment    
spellbound now    
in graceful awe    
of sudden    
wonderment    
as if its    
reflective    
glowing presence    
were only    
the hypnotic    
shared  lucid    
magical dream    
of the    
unseen    
larger    
sleeping tree    
through whose    
lace like    
silhouetted boughs    
and limbs    
branches and leaves  
these fractured    
waning    
moon lights    
broken    
luminous    
pale amber shards    
beam its    
wondrously mysterious    
haunted    
luminous dream    
right down here    
into me    
where it    
soon becomes    
more hard    
to tell    
if what  
im perceiving    
is the luminous    
dream    
of the rising    
haunted    
waning moon above    
or of this    
unseen    
larger sleeping tree    
which stands    
between us here    
or maybe    
only    
of me myself    
alone    
until this gradual    
realization    
suddenly    
occurs to me    
intuitively  
here  
that perhaps    
its just as  
likely    
its    
the mutually    
shared    
illumined dream    
of all three    
of us    
simultaneously    
here at once    
within    
the greater    
sacred oneness s    
divine    
ineffable dream    
of everything    
and all    
which we
three too  
are all
one with
the
same
