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
as  
well
