Moonlight

.

.

moonlight
through the bathroom window
illuminates
your furrowed brow
as you search
for a word.
scratching one out
with the stub
of your pencil —
something
doesn’t fit

is it a dream
that has brought
phrases to your mind —
unrelated thoughts
that will one day
find a home?

backwoods trails,
scrambling over logs,
ducking branches,
scratching arms

grouse and partridge
mad flapping wings…
quiet, still,
awaiting
danger to pass

underbrush clears,
leaves crunch
between tall stately trees
reaching forever

golden hawks circle
(they always do),
clouds drift slowly,
magic descends

i think of places
from where we’ve come
and what it took to get here —
we are blessed

i dreamt

of blackberry kisses

stars that traced my shoulder

landscapes explored

places remembered

eyes of onyx, raven hair

trails in the moonlight

nights without number

days without care

.

there is a house

a dog, two cats

some chickens in the yard

a swing for rocking

to watch the sunrise.

we hold each other tighter

to soothe the morning chill

our new life starts

together
