In the shadow of the moonlight
where mystery stalks our thoughts
A palpable encompassing force
creeps beside, around and through
A midnight walk in forest
A solo flight in deep wood
into dreams and deeper things
There the shadows lurk
with not a bit of timid
and sounds arise enlarged
to wreak a cacophony of fears
Still each of us remains a light
and all of us are Sacred
So every nook may be embraced
and each peaceful, joyful, thrill relished
On the beach under the palm
cradled by the warm sand
We listened to constant washing
of the magnificent shore
————————————————————
On the beech under my palm
cuddled by the warm bark
Bug listened to constant washing
of the hose outside the palm
Vacations both,
a different experience…
And each side has grown
in its own way
as if separate
In fact, we live
on common ground
and sky above is One
No matter how we perceive things
or build fences
in our minds
