          Autumn Evenings

When a grand Autumn moon
   comes calling
at the twilight window…
mid echoes of a distant bell,
(as candles cry persistent tears)
all becomes a shadow-realm
and sharp-edged things
   of day
soften into silver-grey,
painted in a moon-lit wash…
Like the one small boat
floating moorless on this
  mirror-lake,
my spirit severs all terrestrial
  ties
to dance beyond far mountains,
where velvet clouds grow
in the resting place
of Deep-Time’s finest dreams.
