          The Same Moon

Here on the deep-forest edge
of these ancient ‘endless’ hills
and remnant wilderness,
a grand Autumn moon
wearing her soft-velvet
evening cloak of clouds
and stars in eastward-
  rising splendor,
bids fond adieu to the setting
sun’s majestic westward
  twilight afterglow ...

Enlightenment is this same moon
in every lake, puddle, drop of dew,
the mind’s eye, the heart, our finest
dreams, and ancestral memories.

Feels like Fall here ... some places may reach an all-time-low of 48 degrees F. by tomorrow morning ...

Delightful write, Bruce. I wish it would cool down here.

Beautifully said. I love the thought that we all lay our eyes on the same moon.
