Moon reflects the Sun.
It casts the Sun's light
upon the many waters
that the night surrounds
with its blanket of darkness.

In the Mind's ear, many hear
the Darkness declaring that
the Sun has ceased to shine.

But, I see it shining...
in the lake and river.
In the pond and stream.
The majestic Ocean
and the lowly puddle.

Sparkling constellations
pulsate with its gentle touch
and cluster together to show
the glory of the shining Sun.

In the Mind's ear, many hear
the Darkness declaring that
the Lighted ones have gone.

But I see them shining...
I see the Buddha and the Christ
within all that is reflected upon the eye.

The majestic and the lowly

Even in the moments when
reflections appear distorted...
I am reminded that there is
the One Light...  reflected
in a world of Fun-House mirrors.

Excellent write, Larry!  Perhaps some of us aren't reminded nearly enough to make a difference to this world and that's the pity of it.
