Simple Pleasures

Full moon enters my bedroom

This morning.

I watch it descend to the

Western horizon,

Inching its way over

High-arching rooftops,

Winging through feathers of

Billowy clouds.

 

I see it winking,

Watching and wondering,

Guarding the night

As it silently sails through

The harbors of heaven

Casting pale shadows,

Keeping a promise to

Always return.

 

Night bird announces

A new day is dawning,

And sunrise grows miracles

Fresh in her garden.

The world is alive

With peaceful endeavor

And life’s simple pleasures

Abide everywhere.
