"in wake of the moon"
The sun, released
from nights encasing mosque.
The sky shielding its eyes with the morning mist.
The dew melting from the chill
with the nectur of the horizen.
The sweet colors drip
with the tears
that glaze my view.
I wipe my eyes.
And the clouds are parted
by a sage with crystal hair and leather sandles
standing clothed in a wisp of philosophy.
And he reaches out,
with a fist that spreads the prizm as it opens.
And with a stylish twist
he extends his fingers
and lunges for the sun.
But the sun rests beyond his outstreatched aspirations
as it settles in the sea,
orange into blue.
And his eyes chase its unattainable glamour.
While behind
tranquilities at mid-sky
with a backdrop that illuminates its softness.
And the sage turns
as peace unveils its headstone
And his dreams grow
In wake of the moon.
