Simple Pleasures

Full moon enters mybedroom

This morning.

I watch it descend to the

Western horizon,

Inching its way over

High-arching rooftops,

Winging through feathersof

Billowy clouds.

 

I see it winking,

Watching and wondering,

Guarding the night

As it silently sailsthrough

The harbors of heaven

Casting pale shadows,

Keeping a promise to

Always return.

 

Night bird announces

A new day is dawning,

And sunrise growsmiracles

Fresh in her garden.

The world is alive

With peaceful endeavor

And life’s simplepleasures

Abide everywhere.
