ONE GLIMPSED MOMENT'S INWARD TOUCH  (12-23-2009, Sunrise, Palm Springs, California)

 

winters sunrise light  
cast silhouetted shadows  
of ficus trees  
green leaves  
shape shifting  
black lace dance  
upon my bathroom  
windows  
frosted  back lit  
pane  
perceived through corneal  
lenses  
of both my  
open eyes  
recast upon  
inner screen  
of my viscerally  
feeling brain  
to momentarily suspend  
me  
in its passive  
silent  
dream like trance  
with my senses  
briefly  
held within  
more lucidly felt  
through imaginations  
filtered lenses
awakened grasp  
of freely broadened  
new sights  
insights gained  
wherein these reflective  
thoughts arise  
stirred up adrift  
evaporatively  
like morning dew  
left behind
in peaceful wake
of  
vanished night  
which linger only  
briefly here
before they too  
must soon make  
way  
so effortlessly in  
silence  
returning up to  
open skies  
transformed  released  
in ghostly mists  
through radiantly illumined  
ascendent touch  
of early mornings  
still newly
rising
sun
