              Summer Passing

A shimmering silver moon ascends
the star-swept ebony canopy
as a last gentle twilight breeze
teases ripples to dance this deep,
clear lake of late Summer dreams
in perfect timeless harmony with
the drifting clouds and swaying
   willow shadows
on such a disconsolate night of
implacable loves, abandoned hearts,
and the looming edge of winter’s
   inexorable return.

The looming edge of winter is refreshing in a way, and yet the chill stings, making my eyes water.

Always always always enjoy your secondhand dreams, good poet~

This is lovely, and goes along
with my oh-so-dark-thirty moment
this morning as I glanced upon
a shooting star in that sky of
yours, Sir.
