Moonwater

Where the night pours its light

No despair.

The church bell pays its ode to the pink skies. An unknown bird crosses the dusk.

I wish I had something tender to give you now, some remnant of hope.

But the mind has its own world, one far from the flight of that unseen bird.

I will write a longer poem next time. I will hold both,

the bird’s sky, the world’s mind.
