And the Moon Glows

The light of day
now buried in the night
refuses to let go,
creating a special glow
that swirls upon
the water.

The glow in turn
refracts and reflects
its true self to me
as I gaze steadily
into the darkness
of light.

Dolphins leaping
high above the waves,
oblivious to time, or
space, or dark of night
appear fully aware of
their purpose.

Terrestrial and free,
the ocean comforts
them, the moon their
guiding light as they
ebb and flow with
the tides.

The moon obscured
for just a moment,
my universal eyes,
however clouded,
remain focused on
the distant past.

And the moon glows
upon the water, and
settles on the shore,
and with very little
effort, still finds
time for me.
