We are looking at the moon
After rain
It stretches out before us
Like the sea
It blows bright
Gently humming waves
Movement and stillness
Tangled up together
Like our breath
Rising and falling
Broken thoughts
Shining feelings
A brightness
Like the sky
With its whispering clouds
Slowly lapping at us
A fan of air
A moment of distillation
A cool breeze
A deep breath
All that we have in common with the world
We prefer the dark
The brightness hurts our eyes
And yet we must look
Be awake for a single moment
Catch the raindrops
Bathe in the milky light
Pale skin glowing
Eyes dilated
We must watch
Until the sun comes up
And says goodbye to moon.
