light
turns to dust
on the stony floor
of mortality.
the shades we wear
are too dark
to see
it
go to ground.
all those
particles –
sparkling;
and we
wade,
knee-deep,
in the thoughtful gift
meant to uplift.

I visualize you sitting at a spare desk in a high tower waiting for the moon to dispense the magic the allows you to write such sublime poetry. In reality, you’re probably sitting at an overflowing computer desk with a cup of tea at your side and a cat on your lap.

Beautifully done, Miriam. I too want to know if you are in the tower, writing, or if you are at an overflowing computer desk 😉
