The place just beyond my eyes, where my spirit flies.

In the last seconds of the day,
I sit and I reflect,
On those last hot moments of the winter’s Sun.
What the snow steals,
As the trees bend and quiver in the wind.
This is the point of the day,
Where the Moon overtakes the exhausted Sun,
Again I watch the spherical matrimony.
The wind shoos away the clouds,
Making the night bright and clear,
While putting The Moon in full view.
Staring down its intentions unknown.
With every gust,
The trees dance gleefully,
In the much undead of night.
The trees howl and jitter,
Making a lasting impression on the grass below.
And still The Moon watches, patient and apathetic.
Moon, the God of night.
As Sun is the God of day.
I sit for hours upon minutes,
Watching, waiting, hoping,
That the moon won't fall.
Twelve minute long hours, and The Sun is rejuvenated,
While The Moon, this time, is tired.
Again they switch,
The spheres glistening in marriage once more.
In the last seconds of the night,
I stand up and reflect,
On those last cold moments of the summer’s Moon,
And I think to myself,
Life is perfect.

"In the much undead of night.
The trees howl and jitter,"

These have to be my favorite lines. I especially like the "undead of night", much better than the dead of night which suggests that all is dead, unmoving. The trees "howl and jitter" suggests more of a connection with the undead. Perhaps werewolves, banshees?

This is a really enjoyable poem and I will read it in more depth later on...

There should be a psychology of feet. For do we not make decisions with our legs and walk about on our brains? What do you mean "No, not really"?
