Silverfox: Brightest Lady
Sep 07, 2006, 21:17
She just came sailing by
brightest lady of the southern sky.
I can't help thinking it's all too orderly
all too
engineered.

A bright light for an otherwise darkened
sky
and almost the same size as the sun from here.

So much so that she does
eclipse it
almost perfectly
now and then.

And in a celestial game of hide and seek
she moves amongst our ancient stones
so cleverly positioned to capture her trajectory.

There is a lovely
mysterious symmetry here
that neither diminishes nor relinquishes
her claim to wonder.

And in the end
when soul seeks solace
and a newer place to dwell
I will remember that lady bright and full.

As a light to guide me home again
cloud whispered and sailing
to that place
of silvered silence.

Silverfox
