Astonishment

It really is amazing
She declares
It's as if the moon is bending like a spoon
Full of milk and honey
Replete and bathing in cool white light
Every day throws up some kind of wonder
You just have to look
The rain pours down
We walk until we are fully drenched
Past the point of caring to keep dry
It makes us giggle
Hopping in puddles
Waving our umbrella
As if we could fly
We wouldn't go far
Maybe just above the red bed and the mirror
Watch ourselves coming down
But not with a bump
She delights
That would be silly
The bells ring in the night
The grass is being swept away
I fear that the tree will be chopped down but thankfully it stays
Its big green arms
Welcome in another day
We have seen it blossom and fade
For many years now
It is our sky line
Our connection to the earth
Below the ground are tiny bones
Marked by flowers
Faded with time
For a fleeting moment everything feels in balance
And within that moment we feel fine.
